Indian Status


For those customers that you may get that have Indian Status please use account 500. I have set up this account to charge only the federal portion of the HST since anyone with Indian Status is exempt from the provincial portion. If you have any questions please let me know.

adding new line in XAS #139 Primewire Extension cords

We are adding top 15 sku's in Primewire extension cords into our system and set a stocking level on top 6. Like to thank Jake at Petes Paint for time to cross and order in samples. The part numbers should be in our system mid week Sept28-19th 2010.
Note the 25 ft cord is 25% less money - so our customers will get a far better value for their dollar. and the 50ft cord is a whooping 63% less money ( note - the 50 ft comparison is close - but not exact - the CQ has a 3 outlet end and the XAS has a special 'lock' - both good feartures ) - truly amazing price differences. But the AVERAGE savings for our customer is over 50% when we average all 6 sku's .... holly cow batman ...

A strong letter of protest has been sent to CARQUEST Canada over their poor values in this line. We continue to review other lines to bring better value for our customers - we want customers for LIFE --not just one time at a rip off price ( to never return again ). You are asked to report other lines you feel our value may be lacking - please.

do we change or they change ?


We have asked on CARQUEST OIL ( and Steve Gushie - Pres of CQ Can, has also asked ) to have the part number of the END of the box - not the side of the box ...

Look at Anti-Freeze images ....same DUMB THING

Until we get the supplier to change - the staff should stack and display SIDEWAYS so we can see the part # -- right ????????

Optional E-cat's



We recently got access to the Wrenchead e-cat for CanUsa & Northwest ACDelco - handy to see what others do with e-cat.

In the recent SKF memo about activant foul-up ( quell surprise ) I noticed the SKF on-line e-cat as www.showmetheparts.com. ??? who ???

So I registered ( free is good ) and mentioned it to our stores as a possible backup for some weird item --they seem to have many odd ball vehicles.

Free registration at show me the parts

ps - parent company called Vertical Developments .... http://www.verticaldev.com/affiliations.html

LOOK at some of the vehicles in the pull down box ..... !!!!!
