Keystone prices --to believe to not ?

We are in a Catch 22 situation for Line KST ( Keystone )

We hear of parts that price in the J-Con but are vastly different from Keystone.

 One person from Toronto wrote this back to me when I asked the QUESTION --HOW often is Keystone prices updated in the Warehouse system .... and therefore in our system ...

"Greg, J-Con is up-dated every 4 weeks and keystone price up-dates run

usually 6 weeks behind and therefore the only accurate price available is
from the Keystone web site which all the stores have access to or to the
800-line.

For more pricing information please contact Glenn."

He is talking about the Parts Source CD that we get every 4 weeks ...he is not answering my question on how often is Keystone UPDATED in the warehouse computer ...

When I wrote back asking why the last price change date was Feb 5 2009 (see image) I get another person replying ....  "My suggestion would be check the keystone web site as they change their

pricing frequently and are reluctant to send us an updated price file as it
will be obsolete be the time we get it.
The web price is the most current and accurate ."

BUT --the problem is --HOW OFTEN is the master file ( MIF) at the warehouse updated ....  kind of my original question ... because if the master file is not updated often enough it will cause us to :

a)  NOT BELIEVE what our computer system tells us -

b) shake our heads in disbelief

How can we stock something if we have doubts on the accuracy of pricing ....

We will need to VERIFY the pricing of everything we sell in the line KST??

I have asked Jason McDonald at Keystone if some standardization of pricing can be set with Toronto.  The KST file is HUGE ...  we need to know that it is being reviewed and updated every so often....

OK --given the above might happen --we  still need to be aware of USA Currency swings .. and that is in addition to all factors mentioned above.  Especially for special order parts.

THINK --when we are dealing with KST ...   but lets at least get the stocked parts updated often enough we have some trust in the accuracy on pricing.  If in doubt --double check--and let  me know what you find.  (Greg)
