CJ,
Yeah I've wondered that myself. A whole lot of the stuff I order is
cut to length etc. Appears to be picked, cut and packed by
hand....but with a warehouse that must be gigantic I can't see that
being very practical. Their nearest warehouse to me is about 1.5
hours away...probably why I get the stuff so fast.
I'm not sure if it's a public company or not...always thought it
might be a good investment.
