Sorry, I Prefer Paper

Sorry, I Prefer Paper

With paper catalogs, an error is found once. I can make a notation or use sticky paper or a paperclip to mark it so it can be shared with other counter people. There’s no way to make notation with e-cats I’ve used. I have found e-cats may fix one listing but other new mistakes pop up with each update. I found the following notation yesterday (with 4000# frt axle except DSL) when looking up front struts for a 2001 Impala and rear struts for a 2001 Sable.

Paper mistakes do not need to be permanent. To correct catalog mistakes the companies could send e-mails or snail mail to instruct us to make corrections. Just an idea.

The discussion shouldn’t be about paper or plastic or virtual, it should be about accuracy of information.
