I am supposed to not promote one distributor over another. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2020 9:53 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 800-m-tow-3p-36 - chuck
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. On 9/3/2020 11:50 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: We constantly build these things. But most of our distributors do not carry stock on the tower mounts. 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.
