I do every one that I feel that I can without putting myself in a bad spot.

I THINK IT IS EASIER. NOBODY SEEMS TO TOUCH THE CANADA ONES. JUST AS EASY. NOW THE LOCAL DEALER SPRINT, IF I AM NOT MAKING ENOUGH GAS MONEY I WILL NOT HELP THE LOCAL DEALER. NOW IF GM PAYED ME MORE MONEY ,WHICH THEY SHOULD BECAUSE WE ARE SPENDING THE MONEY DELIVERING, I WOULD.

Yeah, I don't see that it's a pain at all. Agree to the sale on D2D, create the shipping label in D2D by entering package dimensions and weight, print the label and attach it to the package and aside from pulling, packing and billing it, that's really all there is to it.

And, you get paid in less than a week.

And if the dealer returns it, they return it to GM. ;)

Exactly. It's not an issue at all to SPRINT stuff. We've done over $50,000 in SPRINT this year. Best part is there are no returns. Just avoid Canada for the obvious hassles.

I was skeptical at the start, but have got the hang of it. Sold more back to GM then they delivered to me. LOL J/K not quite, but at least we are helping another dealer in need.
