The name of the game is not maximize profit anymore. As I posted to Colin the days of Adam Smith are long gone.

ONSL does not have the resources of Costco or Walmart to buy in large quantity for new items. They should not even get into that. Look at their quick buys, with shipping and taxes, you are not getting a lower price. Convenience yes, bargain no. As I said there are many reasons why WS does not like ONSL, shipping is only one of many.

j b,
Excellent counter-argument!! There are many perspectives on the way this company does business, and whether it is good or bad methodology in the short or long term...I like yours...PAL may be right, but being long, I like to look at the positive aspects of this company's way of conducting its business...
