Is omnichannel a retail margin crusher?
Some commenters are looking at this from a purely operational viewpoint and ignoring how ship-from-store benefits customers and tightens the link with the physical store. It's not merely how inventory is moved, rather it is how the customer who is already in-store can access inventory unavailable in their home store. More interesting to me is how stores might experiment with the Bonobos model, having one size/color of each SKU available for consideration and try-on, but having sales fulfilled offsite and sent to the customer.
