Hello World! Welcome Friends! Are you trying to hold off on buying a new living room set until the one you wants goes on sale? While you can save a lot of money by waiting for a local furniture sale, you could save much more other ways. Before deciding to put off your furniture purchase for a sale event, consider these pros and cons of doing so.
Pro: Low Prices on New Furniture
If you want to get the lowest prices on new furniture delivered to your door and set in place by professionals, waiting for a local sale event could be worth the wait. If buying from a brick and mortar store, waiting for a sale really does get you the best deals.
Con: Inconvenient to Wait
If your existing furniture is in very bad shape, you might not want to wait for that sale event. Broken down furniture is not just uncomfortable, it can also be dangerous and cause injury. It is best to replace broken furniture as soon as possible. If you wait for a sale, you could be without seating for a while. In addition, if your local store doesn’t have the brands you want, you could be waiting for them to order from their supplier as well.
Pro: Get Your Favorite Furniture Brands for Less
If you are looking for a particular furniture brand that is only offered at your local furniture store or at full price from the manufacturer, waiting for a sale is your best option. Those furniture collections can add up fast, and if you want a complete matched living room set you’re going to pay for the privilege if you don’t wait for a sale.
Con: Might Miss Out if Wait for a Sale
The living room collections available at your favorite furniture store won’t be available indefinitely. Those local stores don’t have space for a large inventory, and they trade out older collections in favor of the new season’s offerings. If you wait too long, the set you want may not be available except through the manufacturer or online retailer.
Pro: Favorable Financing Options
To increase the sale-induced frenzy, furniture stores often offer very favorable financing options during their sale events. You can get the sale price and pay the furniture off over time, often with no downpayment. In fact, with approved credit you may even be able to get financed same as cash within a specified time frame. This makes it even easier to apply those savings to getting more pieces.
Con: You’ll Lose Those Savings to the Delivery Fee
Local furniture stores almost always charge for delivery. They have to pay their delivery drivers, maintain their trucks, and handle a myriad of regulated activities to do so. They cannot afford to offer free delivery on top of their already steep discounts and generous financing terms. That means you’ll pay as much as $100 or more for delivery of a full living room set.
The Alternative Solution
If you don’t want to wait for a sale and you still need a good price on your living room furniture, turn to the internet. While shipping costs of furniture online were once very expensive, today most online furniture stores offer free shipping. While this delivery doesn’t include assembly or placement, the savings over local delivery are significant.
In addition, online furniture stores offer deep discounts every day, not just during certain popular retail holidays. They also have larger warehouses so that they can carry a wider selection of brands and collections. They also often offer discounts for buying the entire collection.
Finally, when you buy online you can still get great financing options, or you can search through large clearance sections for additional savings. Sale living rooms are great, but when you can get sale prices every day, why would you wait?
