Those are suppliers, not "deals".


And just how do they manage to "Supply" the company without working out
a
deal?


Walmart has never signed a single $4B deal AFAIK.

The two I mentioned. Wal-Mart was perhaps the first compnay to do long term
deals with their vendors, which is why they were able to get fabulous deals.

Period. Furthermore I
doubt that *any* supplier has ever lost Walmart as a customer because they
could not arrive somewhere at a particular time.

Read Walton's biography.
