Nearly 30% of orders from ecommerce retailers like Wayfair get returned upon delivery. Unfortunately, these big bulky items are hard to enter back into inventory. This means items end up getting trashed and consumers miss a huge opportunity. This is where Loveseat.com comes in. We operate weekly online auctions where local consumers buy returned goods and save an average of 70% off retail. Loveseat is live in 4 locations in SoCal & Texas --- and soon, we're going to be nationwide!
