Lukkes, I am long and strong and have sold products to Wal Mart in the past. If Wal Mart thinks the products will sell in NE, AAPT won't have any choice to do what they want. Companies ship products around the country regularly. It's quite common to open a DC in the midwest simply because A) It's cheaper to ship from a central point in the country and B) time zone differences allow for late day shipping if an account needs product in a hurry.

My take on Sierra is simple, if they are not pumping and the NE is where Wal Mart sells the most pet products chainwide, why not wish for this as a successful launch in that market will open up more opportunities at Wal Mart nationwide.

I hope Sierra is right simply because if Wal Mart is doing what they do (my products were always purchased for the top 100 stores nationwide - if it sold, I'd get more coverage).

My 2 cents. Shipping costs are negligible w/r/t making an account happy to order more of your products.
