Request for Bancoduo and residents of Baja

I think when they go from 1100lt they go 2500, 5000, 10,000. can't help- you with a dealer in that area.

bancoduo - 3-18-2006 at 09:07 PM

I can't help you but maybe someone can. Great idea! I don't think they sell pilas at HD

In La Paz the is being done by Marina De La Paz, and they sell the list for 10 pesos, it would be a huge undertaking to do this for the whole Baja.

It is incredibly easy to sling negative commentary on an easy shopping/one stop kind of place w/o a viable alternative offered for those of us that don't have endless hours to discover good local vendors . At work we try not to offer criticism w/o some type of positive follow up. Not having a whole lot of Mexicano freinds who are purchasing the stuff I need at this time and usually wanting to hurry thru the northernmost part of baja makes it difficult at best when I don't have many days to fart around looking for stuff. I will try to apply the same philosophy I use towards roadside eating; look for where the locals are at. That'll probably end up being the big box stores, unfortunately.
Hopefully there will be some decent follow up from those that are more knowledgable than myself (which should be a WHOLE lot of folks).

It just covers La Paz, they charge 10 pesos, and I don't know how often it is updated. By the way it is an extensive list and is done very well.

This is a great idea. we should start another thread just for this

Keri - 3-19-2006 at 03:09 PM

Is this for any type of business? Only construction related? Dr and dentists and vets? What info do you need to give. Name, address, city, telephone and business type comes to mind. I have alot of local Rosarito to Ensenada businesses we use. Let me know what type your looking for and I'll put some up.
Soul Patch.I'm trying to find the telephone numbers and addresses for 2 ferriterias we use in Ensenada.. I'll post them here went I find them. (you know it's one of those places we go to all the time, I know right where it is but I'll be damed if I know the street name or number.) I;m looking for you though,k :yes:

Bob it is on the free rd from Rosarito to Tj closer to Rosarito around the La Gloria area. They have simons sealy ,serta and many others. They are demos from the big furniture stores. Queen sets around $200.00 .I bought one from him and it was way to soft ,I have a bad back and this just didn't work for me . it was one of those beautiful pillow tops. so I was just going to keep it and put it here because I did'nt think he'd take it back. I'd had it a couple of weeks.He said no problem brought me out a firmer mattress and took the other one back. I was impressed. This is just a little hole in the wall store. That sold me . I send alot of people to him.. For 9 mattresses I'd ask how much to deliver . he might do it.,k :yes:

Bob and Susan - 3-19-2006 at 04:08 PM

its saved..thanks Keri...

next trip i'll take a look and mention your name...

i hope i don't get your OLD mattress :lol:

Bob and Susan - 3-19-2006 at 05:29 PM

i HATE to be stupid but....

what does ferreteria translate to.... :lol:

We think it means Hardware store

Keri - 3-19-2006 at 05:57 PM

or any derivative to that effect.
Hose A, one is Pacific on Mexico st by Calimax way south of Cortez in about the same area. Little different but close enough for our use, and the other we call Cheto's. Mike spends alot of dinero in both places. We get alot of our stuff here locally also. If Mike shops it and tells the owner what he found it for and where he will try as close as he can to match it. k :yes:

Bruce is right, it means hardware store and Manguera A is also correct for a place that sells hardware, nails, tools. It comes from the word fierro (hierro) and it would litterarily mean a place that sells items made of iron. My grandmother used to call tools "Los fierros"

The nail has been solidly struck---Do the big boxes have to give factura's?

When I was buying stuff in Baja it was understood that if you wanted a factura that you would pay 10% extra.

bajalou - 3-20-2006 at 11:22 AM

Just like the Customs - "Don't need paper - 20% off"

Oso - 3-20-2006 at 05:18 PM

My wife's cousin's husband, Gilberto, worked for the government in the D.F.. His job was to collect taxes from street vendors, mostly those selling "fayuca" on the sidewalks. He was not an imposing figure, did not look like a cop or a "goon" and was invariably polite and soft-spoken. He considered himself a "Cafe Intellectual". His procedure was never to demand or threaten. He would simply present his credentials to the merchant of the "informal economy" and ask if they would like to "cooperate".

They invariably did. "How", I asked, "can you or they determine the correct amount of taxes owed if none of them keep books, give receipts or declare profits?" His reply was, "They know."

I often watched him, sitting at his kitchen table, counting and dividing the day's collection of coins and small bills. He was scrupulously honest in his accounting (I guess his appointment depended on that) and never once skimmed more than his appropriate share of the take. "How", I asked, "does your boss know that the amount you turn in is correct?"

His reply was, "He knows."

Factura

Baja Bernie - 3-20-2006 at 08:57 PM

Made in triplicate with one going to the customer, one for theaccountant of the business and one to Hacienda (tax folks) by law one should be issured for each transaction.
That's why you get a 10% break if you don't want one.
That is if they have not changed the rules in the past two years.

I have a story in my new book about a business man (American) who does not understand the rules and fails to submit sales taxes on time--cost him a ton of mordida to get them to 'forget' his 'error'.

It ain't.

They can, and do.

...but I believe any legitimate storefront business needs a journalling cash register which creates auditable records.

Correct.

As a corporation, I am required to collect IVA on every sale. To offset, I demand a factura from all my vendors.

That's why most avoid me like the plague. :mad:

No, but they are required to give one to any customer with the proper credentials, that asks. Also required to give a legitimate receipt that must include:

Name and address of business and RFC number.

I usually collect receipts and present them for a factura at EOM.

Well, yes. But they aren't in violation if they perform transactions other than that without issuing facturas? I guess I got the wrong impression from your previous message...

Thanks-- Larry

Put another way:

Every business is required to have the ability to issue facturas. This means:

A business license and all permits, displayed in full view of the customer.

An RFC# printed or written on each reciept. Which, by the way, is the law. Each time you buy anything the merchant must give you a legal receipt. Whether you request it or not.

An official numbered factura booklet or a special register capable of issuing a factura.

Larry, Please start another thread about the BajaVendors

Keri - 3-21-2006 at 12:57 PM

The idea is great but it already getting buried here.Lots of people aren't reading this because they don't know what it is we are trying to do. If we start another thread and explain what we are trying to accomplish and ask each person to add a business, we might all get the benitfits. let's not drop the ball on this,k :rolleyes:

Dave - 3-21-2006 at 09:10 PM

Ok Keri, back to topic.

As a start I would suggest picking up a copy of the Tijuana yellow pages. It's free and available at the phone company. An English translation of all the different categories is included.

And if anyone needs anything in the TJ/Rosarito area they can come see me. If I don't personally know, I'll know someone who does.

Dave - 3-21-2006 at 10:22 PM

Keri has that info.

Ask her. :biggrin:

You can get a factura.

(No extra charge)

Bedman - 3-22-2006 at 01:22 AM

Let me be the first to (try) answer Soulpatch's question.

In Maneadero I have used Madereria Y Ferreteria Los Flemate. A very large lumber yard. They have had everythinng I have asked for, so far. Unfortunately I haven't needed a Pila and haven't asked. They have 3 other locations listed on my "Factura's" that they have always supplied (3 times). I have been reasonably satisfied with their products. A little miffed at times with their delivery time. Average is 2 to 3 weeks. They do deliver to Bahia De Los Angeles. Twice for free and once for a fee. I think the delivery charge and time span is connected to any other orders they have headed to the bay.

Madereria Y Ferreteria Los Flemate
