Tool crib cataloges missing

reinvent | Posted in General Discussion on August 3, 2006 03:29am

Is it me or have you not received a tool crib catalogue in awhile. I’m not talking about the sale ‘flyers’ but the full bore version. I suspect they are cutting back on ‘issues’ to save printing/shipping cost.

    I haven't seen one in quite a while either.   Everything is online and more easily updated online, especially prices.

      Somehow my name got on the Victoria Secret mailing list, and so far in the past year I have received couplns for free panties and other discounts.  DW laughs but grabs the coupons as soon as they come in.

        Does she know your size?

        Like everything with the internet, pricing and cost controls are very competitive.  Most likely they are cutting out some cost because they do not see the benefits.

        You should hold the coupons for ransom until she hands over your tool crib catalogue.

          I just e-mailed amazon's cust.serv. dept. to request a tool catalog...

          You have to CALL a toll free # to get one.

          on the web site when you search for "tool catalog", the tool crib catalog comes up but "this item is no longer available"

          They be dragging us kicking and screaming into the 21st century!!!

          I donwannago!!!I have no comment...

          Just had a wicked Idea!!!

          EVERY ONE here should call in for a catalog!!!

          Maybe they will get the message???

          maybe....
