I'm the marketing manager for just such a WalMart vendor.

Well then, it should be easy for you.

So, if the link in post #50 says half their Chinese purchases were direct purchases and half from the firms suppliers in China, then you have your work cut out for you.

You are tooooo much, just because the supplier in an American company does not mean the goods are produced in the USA. For example I could say that I only buy American casue I only shop at walmart. hahahaha, but unlike you, I couldn't said it with a straight face.

Todd, I think the issue is with the language of their information (calm down...I'm not accusing you of not knowing how to read :-)). As I read it, they mean 1/2 were purchases from companies making goods specifically to WalMart's specs, sort of like an OEM manufacturer, while the other half from companies selling them general merchandise that was already being made for others. Basically I mean half made to order and half bought off the shelf so to speak. In my case (A Japanese company with distributors in the U.S. and Canada) we wouldn't fall under either category even though the specific goods we sell WalMart are made in China.
