After Prime Day: Rethinking deposit, preorder and inventory controls to protect margins during discount-driven furniture demand

Use lessons from Prime Day to update preorder/deposit policies, inventory reservation rules, and fulfillment SLAs: tighten deposit timing and cancellation rules for long-lead and discounted items, add explicit inventory reservation triggers during promotional windows, harden BNPL acceptance workflows, and adjust staffing and carrier capacity planning to reduce order churn and protect margins.
