Bulky goods

A category of comparison goods that require large showrooms and extensive parking/servicing space, typically including furniture, carpets, electrical goods, and DIY items sold from retail warehouses.

This is a subset of comparison goods retailing. It describes those comparison goods which are difficult to accommodate in town centres because of their space requirements for large showrooms, parking and servicing. They typically include large items such as furniture, carpets, electrical/white goods and DIY goods, and are typically sold from retail warehouses.
