Zappos.com is
the web's most popular shoe store. They feature dress, casual and
athletic shoes for men, women, and children. Shoe shoppers at the
site can choose from a selection of over 100 brands, more than
50,000 SKU's and have access to more than 30 million pairs of
shoes.
Zappos.com was
founded in June 1999 following a less than successful trip to a
local shoe store. With brick and mortar stores limited by the size
of their stock rooms, shoppers can only choose from a handful of
styles the store buyer chooses from each brand (and pray that
their size is in stock). Zappos.com decided that offering
customers a complete selection of styles from each brand (in every
size, width, and color) would make the shoe shopping experience a
much more pleasurable one. With footwear catalog sales exceeding
$2 billion in the U.S. annually (1 out of every 20 pairs of shoes
sold!), it was clear that shoppers are comfortable receiving their
shoes in the mail. Thus, Zappos.com was born
To date,
Zappos.com has shipped shoes to well over 15,000 cities across the
United States.
Shop-at-Wholesale.com applauds Zappo's aggressive price protection
policy. Simply put, if you find a shoe for a lower price on
another web site, they will refund you 110% of the difference
between the lower price and their price. They willl even refund
the difference if they lower the price themselves. That policy,
together with unconditional free shipping, assures Zappos'
shoppers a thrifty and rewarding shopping shoe experience.
