About 'monticello catalogue'|First Response Team in Monticello








I               don't               know               how               many               years               ago               it               was               that               I               made               my               first               purchase               through               a               catalog,               but               since               then,               the               number               of               them               I               receive               -               especially               in               the               Autumn               -               has               grown               so               dramatically               as               to               require               a               larger               mailbox!

Although               that               may               sound               like               a               complaint,               it               isn't.

I               have               come               to               appreciate               the               convenience               of               shopping               at               home               and               ordering               either               by               phone               or               online               with               a               catalog               open               to               the               item               I               want               in               front               of               me.

In               just               today's               mail               alone,               there               were               eighteen               of               them,               including               "The               Sportsman's               Guide,"               "TravelSmith,"               "AutoSport,"               "Magic               Cabin,"               Hearth               Song,"               "What               On               Earth,"               "Wind               and               Weather,"               "Monticello,"               "International               Male,"               "Orvis,"               "Chadwick's,"               "Warm               Things,"               "Plow               and               Hearth,"               "Bits               and               Pieces,"               "Paul               Frederick,"               "Blair,"               "Harry               and               David"               and               "L.L.

Bean."               I               have               ordered               from               a               few               of               these               in               the               past               -               but               at               least               six               of               them               are               new               to               me,               having               never               heard               of               them               before               -               let               alone               purchased               anything               from               them.
               They               will               all               be               granted,               however,               a               cursory               review               by               either               my               wife               or               I               to               pre-select               which               go               immediately               into               recycling               and               which               make               it               to               the               next               level               of               consideration               -               whereupon               we               actually               open               and               browse               at               the               first               few               pages.

In               just               today's               batch,               the               bulk               was               so               substantive               that               the               postmistress               had               them               bound               in               back               with               a               notice               in               the               box               for               me               to               pick               them               up,               as               though               I               had               received               a               large               package               of               some               kind.

They               simply               would               not               all               fit               into               the               box.
               I               know               how               my               name               got               around.

Mailing               lists               are               shared.

I               have               no               idea               how               I               got               on               lists               for               companies               like               "The               Sportsman's               Guide"               or               "Today's               Weaponry"               (received               yesterday)               as               I               have               never               purchased               any               such               item               from               anywhere               that               I               can               recall               -               but               they               come               to               me               right               along               with               the               others.

It               generally               takes               ten               of               fifteen               minutes               to               do               a               quick               sort               through               them               to               set               out               the               ones               I               might               want               to               look               through.

Then,               there               is               the               time               spent               looking               through               them,               placing               markers               in               pages               containing               things               I               just               'might'               be               interested               in               buying               and               then               time               for               the               final               review               and               decisions.
               All-in-all,               it               sounds               like               a               lot               of               time               -               but               I               assess               it               to               be               far               less               than               spending               a               day               or               two               running               around               from               one               crowded               retail               store               to               the               other               looking               for               'just               the               right               thing'               for               everyone               on               my               holiday               list.

I               can               take               a               break               and               read               (something               other               than               more               catalogs,               watch               TV,               go               for               a               walk               -               whatever               -               and               then               come               back               to               it               when               I               feel               like               it.

Usually,               by               the               end               of               a               half-day               or               so,               all               of               my               holiday               shopping               has               been               ordered.

I               am               done.

Finis.

Until,               of               course,               next               year               when               the               number               of               catalogues               I               receive               will               predictably               increase               exponentially               according               to               the               number               of               catalogs               I               have               actually               ordered               from.
               There               are               certain               things               one               needs               to               be               cautious               about               buying               without               touching               or               trying               on.

Clothing               for               yourself               or               others               can               be               risky               for               example.

Everyone               who               has               ever               bought               clothing               knows               that               the               sizing               varies               by               manufacturer               and               is               not,               in               and               of               itself,               a               reliable               indicator               of               how               (or               if)               the               item               will               fit               you               or               anyone               else               you               may               have               in               mind               for               it               correctly.

Electronics               can               be               risky               because               if               something               is               wrong               you               can't               just               take               it               back               to               where               you               bought               it.

You               need               to               ship               and               often               pay               for               that               return               shipping.
               Yet,               with               all               the               appropriate               and               necessary               caveats               that               apply,               catalog               shopping               has               become               my               primary               means               of               beating               the               crowds,               the               over               burdened               (and               sometimes               over               zealous)               sales               people               and               the               parking               debacles               that               await               either               downtown               (for               me,               San               Francisco)               or               at               the               major               malls               in               the               pre-Christmas/Holiday               season               that               seems               to               begin               these               days               right               around               Halloween.
               So,               unless               you               suffer               from               some               particularly               catalog               version               of               papyrophobia               (an               unrealistic               fear               or               phobia               of               paper,)               you               may               want               to               consider               saving               some               gas               and               some               time               by               doing               more               of               your               holiday               shopping               by               phone               or               online               using               what               the               post               office               brings               you               as               basic               resource               material.
               It               might               actually               save               you               some               time,               money               and               aggravation               at               a               time               of               year               when               we               don't               really               want               to               spend               more               time               or               money               than               we               feel               is               right               and               certainly               can               enjoy               our               own               holiday               seasons               with               a               tad               less               of               the               irritation               frequently               brought               about               by               being               pushed               and               shoved               into               waiting               in               endless               lines               in               understaffed               stores.
               Catalogs               are               a               good               thing.
