Ted recently bought a new dishwasher at Sears. He chose the Magiclean 5000 in black at the store, but had to wait three days for GE to deliver the dishwasher to his house. Between placing the order and it arriving, GE attached a black door to the Magiclaean 5000. How does GE benefit from postponement of this final step?
