What do you think about this article ?

Do you think that close to 8600 stores will close ?

Even though Amazon has taken a lot of market share, a lot of folks do not want to wait to buy something.

Ordering something large like a washer or lawm mower would not be practical either.

I ordered a 70HP outboard and they dropped it in my driveway.
I saved over a grand from what I could do locally.

I've never seen a steel shipping crate before. ?(?)?

Makes sense. Japan does not have a lot of trees to make pallets and
crates. There are a lot of regulations exporting wood. It has to be
fumigated or heat treated.

It was actually a pretty cool piece of hardware. I have been welding
stuff up from the angle for a while. There were 8mm socket nuts
embedded in it too and a bunch of bolts.
I still have the motor bracket piece.
