A retailer is only as good as his or her rep. The rep in my area seems to be from Mars and has no clue as to what is going on with HL's. Usually I inform the local retailers of upcoming events and news and I'm told, "gee the rep was just here this week and didn't say anything, thanks for keeping me informed". So, when I ask how many pieces of a specific issue will be received, the retailer generally does not know and then it usually takes four to five weeks to get an answer from the rep. So, I must admit I do have my name on two lists only to secure one. The retailer who has my second request is aware that I already have my name listed elsewhere and she said it's not a problem since she will have others who will want it if I don't take it.
