Amazon: Delivery into inventory, day 1. Sale, day 14 (average).

Can I ask where you come up with that? If amzn says it, ok, but it doesnt sound right to me.

I am having some trouble with your sale day. What law of business averages a 190 days in inventory for chain stores. Don't try to tell that to Office Max or BBY.

William,

Sorry but vendar payment is 32 days by Covey's admission. Also, none of this really matters although Amazon wants you to believe it does. How much interest is Amzon paying now to have this wonderful cash flow advantage?
