GreatPricedFurniture.com Makes the Internet Retailer Top 500 List

Wilmington, NC-based Great Priced Furniture has been ranked among the 500 Top U.S. e-retailers in a study recently published by Internet Retailer magazine.

Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- Wilmington, NC-based Great Priced Furniture has been ranked among the 500 Top U.S. e-retailers in a study recently published by Internet Retailer magazine (http://www.internetretailer.com). These e-retailers are trailblazers of the $135-billion web-based retailing industry, and in 2006 accounted for 61% of all online sales.

The fastest growth rate came from the hardware/home improvement sector, which expanded online sales by 42%, and is likely to have been a contributory factor in the sustained buoyancy of furniture sales on line. Great Priced Furniture were one of the early pioneers of online furniture stores and have achieved an average annual sales revenue growth of 54% since 1999. They are now North Carolina's largest Internet furniture retailer.

"Great Priced Furniture (http://www.greatpricedfurniture.com) epitomizes the wide range of Top 500 retailers that are finding a niche, sticking with it and building a successful e-commerce business," says Internet Retailer editor-in-chief Kurt Peters. "With more than 6,100 SKUs, GreatPricedFurniture.com continues to prove that people will shop and purchase furniture online if the site offers a great customer experience and a good product selection and price."

Great priced Furniture founder and President Fred Rose attributes his privately owned company's expanding performance to a number of key factors, not least of which are strong alliances with high-profile, big brand furniture manufacturers and an appealing web site that attracts large numbers of visitors 24/7.

"Great Priced Furniture fulfills most customers' furniture orders in 4 weeks or less on in-stock items," says Rose. "We recently purchased a three acre property adjoining our corporate headquarters near the Wilmington State Port Authority which houses a completely remodeled 20,000 sq. ft. warehousing facility. We have applied new information technologies to all aspects of our operation and we offer a 30 day money back guarantee on all furniture we sell. We now have equally strong front and back ends of our business."
