Except that some Hubs insist that you only can lease a specific model. Clients that trade with multiple Hubs end up having to register with multiple VANS, because interconnects are sometimes not allowed ;-( How would you feel if you had to lease a Cadillac for one client and a Chevy for all your other clients? Dollar General now has 2 options. AS2 or Sterling. The AS2 option is good, but the Sterling option is not. They are insisting on paying nothing, so that our clients are forced to get an 'associate mailbox' from Sterling (for at least $75.00 per month plus character charges) if they are not already using that VAN. .
