Default What Could I have Ordered ???

Man, I hate to ask this question and show everyone how dumb I am, but I have tried everything else I can to figure this out.

Have been ordering a few items for the C5 I just purchased. Nothing major just misc stuff. I also have gotten into a bad habit of if I read about some product here on the Forum, and you guys have something good to say about it I buy the thing.

Well today I got a package from "Southern Car Parts" When I opened the thing there were 5 Sheets of what looks like thick paper inside, they are about 13 1/2" by 15 1/2" that's it just this paper stuff. I cannot remember to save my soul why I would have ordered 5 sheets of paper, or what I was suppose to use this paper for.

So I ask myself a couple of questions--Self could this not be paper? Could it be something to do with the new tail-lights I just installed? What about the shifter? Have I left some critical part out there? I have gone thru all of my e-mails and such and no paper is mentioned anywhere.

So now I am turning to you guys, anyone have a clue why they would have sent me this paper? Or maybe what the stuff is for?

Thanks in advance guys...

Roland

Thats funny! I to, like yourself would read about a product on this forum and more often than not would buy it. I couldnt open my laptop without spending a couple hundred here, 500 there....

But I can tell you it does get better...I can now come on here and not feel the urge to buy buy buy.......

As for the sheets of paper? Sorry, cant help you there

Roland, one of two things to check. Did the box of sheets of paper include your invoice? If so, then go online and look up your order number. Second, since absolutely none of us will have a legit answer to this question, why don't you just call Southern Car Parts and ask them. They'll have order number, shipping numbers, etc and can do your detective work. You might also look closely between the sheets as you might be the lucky winner !!!

Do these "cloths" really look like sheets of paper?

Personally if I dorked out I would have just called the shipper.

If someone sent ME 5 sheets of paper. I would assume it was to make paper airplanes to keep occupied during the winter months. Being in Kansas City

You will have to at least do a follow up thread telling us how good these things work

I recently ordered these glass cleaners too. I was surprised when they arrived that they did in fact look like a paper product. I have now used them and they do work well. Just hoping they last a while.

Well that'll just take the surprise out of all the Xmass presents you bought yourself.

I bought those window cleaning towels myself and thought the same thing. They look like thick paper.
