Amazon (
AMZN) - Get Report is reportedly testing a service that enables customers to choose to have furniture or appliances assembled as soon they arrive at their homes.
Seattle-based Amazon is planning to introduce the service in Virginia and two other markets, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.
But customers are often disappointed when delivery people drop off the purchases unassembled in big boxes. Demand for bigger items like desks and office chairs spiked during the pandemic as millions retreated to their homes.
