When talking to the other people on the job I do not usually use part numbers.

But just as electure and Electric Eagle have mentioned when faxing in an order I give part numbers and just like electure I will say this part or =.

I think a lot of this has to do with if you are picking the stock up or having it delivered to the job.

99.9% of what I order is shipped to the job or shop. If it comes in wrong it will be at least 24 hrs before I get what I need. Add to that now I need to do paper work for returns. [Linked Image]

Having learned the hard way I have a milk case full of catalogs I bring job to job just so I can use part numbers on matrial requests. [Linked Image]

I did not know what a 1900 was, our number is Raco 232. [Linked Image].

While we are talking trade names does any other area use the term "Baldy"? [Linked Image]
