Importantly, the number of Wayfair’s orders from repeat customers surged by 16.2% to 7.9 million orders, and the company achieved positive free cash flow for the second consecutive quarter. However, amid the present macroeconomic environment, its average order value declined to $297 from $325 in the year-ago period.
