09/14/2018
According to Kansas City Area Development Council the company plans to start outbound delivery operations from the new KC facility in October. Overstock intends to expand the distribution center's operations to include returns processing in the future. The new warehouse is strategically positioned to allow Overstock the ability to offer two-day ground shipping to nearly every customer in the contiguous United States.
"Selecting Kansas City as the home of Overstock's newest fulfillment center allows us to offer over 99% of our U.S. customers two-day shipping options, improving shopping experiences by getting orders into the customer's hands as soon as possible," said Overstock.com Vice President of Supply Chain, Carroll Morale. "We're extremely thankful for all of the support and collaboration we've received from state and local officials and the Kansas City Area Development Council during this expansion process."
Tim Cowden, President & CEO, Kansas City Area Development Council, said, "Overstock.com joins a growing community of eCommerce retailers finding significant benefits to a KC location, including CVS, Amazon, Jet.com and a number of automotive businesses."
In 2017 alone, Kansas City saw growth in distribution and fulfillment facilities from 100,000 to 1.2 million square feet, which included eCommerce companies like Amazon and Hy-Vee Aisles, major retailers like Dollar Tree, and companies like Spectrum Brands and Horizon Global, KCADC said.
