Before there were convenient delivery services like Urban Express, buying furniture was a whole-day, blue-collar affair, like dragging lumber around and cramming it into a home with ordinarily built people (the men in the family) as manpower.

Hauling the equipment is even far from the end game. There’s also the matter of making it work: for instance, a dissembled book shelf that needs to stand upright or a chair whose four legs have to be leveled at the same angles. Primitive furniture buying was as hard as the combination of wrestling and rocket science.
The independents then had no means to outsource their delivery services. It would have been cruelly expensive, or the delivery service would have had a single warehouse located in a Texan desert. Urban Express and its like companies flourished during the technological age, where computing and automobile advances allowed long-distance messaging and courier to branch out to multiple locations.

Sophisticated, digitized inventories allowed efficient movement into other value-added services, like constructing pre-ordered household furniture as they are delivered on the customer’s doorstep. It’s knowing that busy people can’t be bothered to tackle the chairs and tables question that lands Urban Express’ home delivery services within the approval of its clients. Those “I already paid for the thing, why should it bother me again?” complaints are soothed.
