Pepperfry delivers the 100,000th piece of furniture
Pepperfry.com, India’s No.1 Furniture and Home marketplace has reached an important milestone by delivering its
100,000th furniture piece. In a little over two-and-a-half years of operations Pepperfry has scaled from shipping 150
pieces of furniture a month to delivering 15,000 pieces a month. Pepperfry has attained this feat on the foundation
of its strengths on the supply-side; it has the most exhaustive selection of designs and price-points available in the
country today. In this journey Pepperfry has continuously improved on the customer experience that it provides to
the consumers. This has been achieved by putting in place best-in-class practices in the service ecosystem across
logistics and post-sales support.
The logistics infrastructure in India for large item shipping is significantly underdeveloped. To tackle this limitation Pepperfry spent initial years of operations in
strengthening its logistics and infrastructure for shipping bulky and high-value
item like furniture. In the last 2 years, the company has built a proprietary large
item distribution logistics hub and spoke shipment model through contracted
trucking arrangements to ensure quick and damage-free door step delivery of
bulky furniture.
Pepperfry has successfully established the Last Mile Delivery in 127 towns directly
and plans to extend the geographical reach across the country by reaching 400
towns directly through its own last mile delivery infrastructure by the end of next
year. Till date the company has shipped furniture across 2,700 towns across the
country, and today it sells a piece of furniture every 3 minutes.
Pepperfry is committed to provide the largest range of carefully selected
furniture products by offering more than 11,000 furniture designs on the website
and a range of local and international brands, alongside made-to-order solid
wood furniture. It has an association with more than 70 plus national brands like
Godrej Interio, Nilkamal, Spacewood, @Home, Durian, Furniture Kraft, Evok, etc.
and 150+ traditional non-branded furniture manufacturers. Pepperfry plans to
extend the furniture portfolio by introducing new brands and range in modern
and contemporary styles.
Apart from offering the widest selection of furniture online, Pepperfry offers free
shipping and installation on all furniture items to its growing customer base of
one million plus registered user base. It has recently rolled out a 30 Days NoQuestions-Asked 100% Money Back Guarantee for customers.
