Answer #3
They even pay the shipping back if you don't likethem!!!My bet is they have some kind of contractwith UPS that saves them a little. Maybe they'reclose to a UPS air hub and it makes overnightrouting easier, so they were able to work aspecial deal with UPS.They probably buy in hugevolumes and get good deals. Not having the expenseof multiple fully staffed stores saves webretailers quite a bit of money. Electronics andother items can also be found MUCH cheaper on theweb. I've noticed that most of Zappos prices aregood, but not fantastic. I'd probably expectslightly lower prices on the web. So... some ofthe shoe price might go towards shipping.I lovetheir selecton though... and the speedyservice.... They're not always out of my size inevery style like the stores around here... I'vebeen buying all my shoes from Zappos lately.

Answer #5
They make their money in quantity. They may makea little less on one pair of shoes, but they makeup for it in the amount of shoes they sell. Theyalso pay less than you or I sending a packageovernight.
