[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2878862, member: 14204"] I know many like easy accessibility; this is a non-factor to me. I am never in a hurry, and I have no problem waiting. I deal with a small business/one-shop guy that does just-in-time manufacturing. My last order for 250 bullets took a week and a half because of others ahead of me. Most like bullet X manufacturers because they are readily available. The longer an item sits on the shelves, the less profit is realized by a bullet X manufacturer, just like a vehicle on a parking lot losing profit each day it is not sold. I guess that is good for the receiver, not the supplier. If availability is high, it could mean they over-manufactured with the current demand, or the product is not selling commensurate with the current demand. - activity-based costing. When the market demand is high (i.e., Berger bullets), most do not last long on the shelves. This reminds me of the last Berger delivery at my local Scheel's; there was a like as they were being unboxed, but it never made it to the shelves. Yes, we are not Berger's primary customers; they have larger contracts to fulfill, esp. with the current world event/situation. [/QUOTE]
