Yes, I saw that yesterday. In the past few months CMPExpress has become my absolute favorite place to buy computer equipment and supplies, ending my long-standing relationship with Insight. How do they do it: * No frills. I can go online, search for a product by a keyword or two, then order it with no fancy graphics or other garbage to slow it all down. * Excellent order taking and distribution. Good enough that for computer equipment you can actually get a look at their real-time inventory from the website. Find the warehouse (they have seven) which has stock and which is closest to you, and you can tell how fast it's likely to arrive. They include UPS shipping zone maps for each warehouse. * Excellent supply chain. Look at the inventory, even for big selling items. Always stays very low. They manage it well. Now all they need to do is integrate some of the publisher's catalogs, and they're really moving! AMZN isn't necessarily best equipped to deal with this kind of thing. mg
