Title: RE: Charging a customer for EDI ???????

Hi there Jim,   In contrast to what you said below, in China there are 13 GE EDI*EXPRESS type systems located around the country and run by the China government.  It is mandatory for every Freight Forwarder to be connected in China and linked to the Chinese Customs Export Center (as almost all freight is exported or imported) and the government won't bill you for it, but rather will fine those who do not participate.   Ain't communism grand <grin>.   Cheers...   Michael Burbury GE ecXpress System Administration ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Divoky To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 8:37 PM Subject: Re: Charging a customer for EDI ??????? This is the same scenario I was describing earlier.  Curious since EDI was invented for the transportation industry yet many warehouse operations are woefully backward when it comes to EDI.  Several clients of mine had to purchase the hardware and software for the third party warehouse, install it, and pay all charges.  If I had been the decision maker I would have selected only an EDI-ready warehousing service. It is about time they moved into the 21st century.   Jim Divoky ----- Original Message -----
