Five days of mail delivery?!?

The first thing that comes to mind? Net 10 invoices. Depending on the day of the week an invoice is cut, how it’s sent, and which days your store is open, this could cut Net 10 to a threadbare three or four days. Not much to work with.

If this goes through, expect lots of pushback from retailers…and resistance from vendors whose credit lines are already stretched to the limit.

Getting thank you notes into the pipeline could be the least of your worries.
