What's your view on how Wayfair is handling this now? I know there have been discussions with suppliers about using more CastleGate services. Are you aware of the challenges they face in driving adoption there?
If you speak to someone from CastleGate, they might say CastleGate wasn't very effective. It provided geographic coverage due to its warehouse presence, but it wasn't good at forecasting or handling inventory.
