That’s rich.
Wal-Mart is directly responsible for Rubber Made and other companies opening plants in China.
In the case of Rubber Made Wal-Mart sent them a pricing sheet telling Rubber Made what they would pay for each item.
Each item was quoted BELOW production costs.
Rubber Made said no.
Overnight Wal-Mart pulled every item made by Rubber Made off store shelves and cancelled all orders.
Only took the suits at RM two days to cave. They had to open off shore plants just to satisfy WM.
Sam Walton died in 1992 and his kids started destroying their suppliers jobs soon after.
One of the many reasons I will not shop at Wal-Mart.
Interesting to know. I remember when Walmart (seemingly overnight) replaced all of the RM products with Stearlite plastic products.
I recently tried to give Sam’s Club some business on a few somewhat pricy portable printers. I went to the store for pick up at “In Club Orders” kiosk (which wasn’t a kiosk, at all...just a bunch of disorganized shopping carts).
They messed up the order so badly....couldn’t even locate it. I told them I would return in a few hours to see if they’d located them. An hour later they sent me a cancellation email to kindly let me know my order was cancelled.
NEVER, again will I do business with them. Especially with a Costco just a couple of blocks further.
