if it's not profitable, it's no fun at all driving back and forth 7-8 hours a day unless you also need to run errands for yourself in chicago.
There is no such thing called 'ikea style'in usa. it's just cheap here.
i have no suggestion to ur business. i am just saying it's not gonna work.
considering the fuel cost, labor cost and vehicle depreciation, you can hardly break even.
the potential benefits are that you might have the chances to meet some chicks.
That's ok. To me, this is just for fun. And I also try to promote the "Ikea style" so that our students have better options to shop.
By the way, what is the better way that you can suggest if you do it as a bussiness?
dude, i don't think your business model gonna work.
如果你需要买宜家的东西,我可以帮忙捎带。
