Thread: how do you keep track of what is coming to your door?

I cheated some...did some cut and past stuff from "my ebay" that was less than 90 days old. I'll have some without prices, purchase dates, before pics, etc., but it will help me out a bit anyway. I had to copy a picture, paste it to Word, then to Excel to make things work for me, but I'm not a computer guru...but it worked for me.

My columns are: Razor Information, Details, Date Purchased, Amount, Who/Where, Notes, Before Picture. I usually work in Word for this kind of thing, but thought the features of Excel (my wife is an accountant) and a person to teach me those features is a win-win situation. Just didn't like the part where she saw the prices...my excuse was "it is with shipping". Helped a little, but I think she's just picking her battles...

I pay cash, and with what little I have it's really hard to lose track. My dogs keep track of what's coming to my door though.

I just keep each thing in my head until it shows up at my door.

I have my own written record of all my shaving related purchases, and I keep a folder of photos of everything too. It works, for the most part.

i just write it down on a sheet of paper and leave it on my dask and stratch it out as it comes in

Looks like you are a REAPERWEAR T-shirts and apparel for all Motorcycle riders from sportbike riders to metric cruisers and Harley Davidsons fan by your tag line...I've got a few of their shirts as well.

Case in point ordering two new badger hair Semogues from Leon at VintageShaving and trading for a third right after ordering a new strop from both Hand American and Tony Miller. Now, while i love to check my online tracking of packages, not shipping method gives up to the minute tracking. So I started keeping a piece of paper on the back side of my front door with a list of my purchases. When it comes in I check it off. Pretty simple and it helps keep me excited about what is coming next. Not that I really need any help with that though.

I really want to thank you for this post..... I have the same habit for my fish tank. It made me realize that I spend toooooo much money.

I PDF the receipt page and delete it when something arrives. Then again, I track all incoming packages every few hours on the UPS/USPS/Fedex sites and the wait by the mailbox on the arrival days. It really freaks out the mailman. And my wife.
