I don't know why they'd get mad. It's pretty obvious when you place an
order who's drop shipping. Not really a secret.

We have offered virtual warehousing so they don’t have to pay for
freight on heavy items twice, but they don’t take advantage of it.
Last Mile Gear used to, but they don’t anymore.
We don’t build up inventory, we just build to order. So if we happen
to have one when a distributor orders it, it can get shipped, else
they will wait 3 weeks. I purposely keep our e commerce site with
very low or zero levels of inventory. It is more designed to drive
orders to our distributors.
At the risk of getting a bunch of them pissed off at me, I will say
that Streakwave places large stocking orders and they hold stock for
the tower mounts and all the rest of our stuff. Thank you Streakwave.
I hate drop shipping.

first, you need to smack people for dropshipping and not holding
stock, thats the mark of a garbage can vendor, it screws up supply
chains and you should let me start showing up at their HQs and
accidents occurring, sometimes vendors who drop ship instead of
carrying inventory on hand have problems with their buildings gas
lines, sometimes theres a leak, sometimes buildings explode, what can
a guy do... mishaps
but is there a production run planned for these?
