I suppose it's possible that West Marine is somehow involved, although I find it somewhat unlikely. The EDI and fulfillment activities are all on the back end and transparent to the customer. There shouldn't be a reason to remove the products from the West Marine website or catalogs solely for the purpose of setting up an EDI relationship.

Also, please remember that my comments are purely speculation. I don't know that SEVU is doing this with any customers. It just seems likely considering recent references to EDI and the hot links from the SEVU site to Costco.com, etc.

It's quite possible that the e-tailers are doing their own fulfillment. My suggestion is a more efficient model and in everyone's best interest. Big company's are already set up to do this, and some make it a prerequisite to doing business with them. The likely constraint would be SEVU, so if they are now up and running, I think it's a likely scenario.
