- Fred Mossler, Director of Merchandising at Zappos in 2008.

"Zappos has built a dot-com model specifically for dot-com and have invested a great deal of time, money and effort into combining superior shoe business knowledge with a great supply chain, business process, and retail policy."²

Gene Alvarez, Vice President of Research at Gartner in 2008.
