The iheart radio awards are why a large amount of world cultures want to destroy America. I guess I can't blame them.....Gigi Hadid not on yet, but Miley Cyrus brother is next.

can anyone explain this question to me?
  1. Imagine if you are a supplier to Home Depot and armed with all of the data and metrics in the world – how do you feel about the requirement of: sending two trucks out weekly with deliveries over five days vs. twice-a-week deliveries?

I'm assuming smaller deliveries 5 times a week versus larger deliveries twice.
Seems like the 2nd one frees up the truck for the other three days, but maybe there's more to it?
 
It just takes away from the fun because he and CG had a........special.....relationship.

Which thread?

I think Erik is on the right track. If this is true it makes sense since I don't think any of those big box hardware stores have little if any backroom storage areas. Thus they can't store excess.

I would make sure they are contractually paying the shipping cost and possibly look at a third party shipping company to free up my own truck.

Not sure if the hardware stores are like the retail big boxes. I was a major supplier for 3M and they told me that places like Walmart do not own the product in the stores. They charge shelf rent to the company and then ship them the amount per unit when the unit sells. That is why the used To have such liberal return policies also. They would just subtract that off the check and give the returned product back.
