>However forcing suppliers onto a VAN is most >likely not the best solution for that.
I often wonder whether that's the motive for some of these. We have received "Dear Supplier" letters where our customers are moving onto a new VAN and the language, if you skim the letter, is that they are asking you to move onto the VAN as well for the same reasons. However, in all of these cases I simply file the letter (not in the round file, mind you) and keep a watchful eye on the situation. I have never found a case yet where a trading partner who is urging me to move to a new VAN has followed through with any of their threats for extra charges, disconnections, etc... Not to say that this isn't always the case for all suppliers. We too maintain a trading "partnership" (using the term loosely) with LNT, and they are not the most trouble free of customers. Indeed, the analyst supporting them won't shop in their store any more. :) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
