Sales reps for the Barrie, Ont.-based catalogue business say they have not had any communication from the company about its sudden shut down in late August. Many of the independent sales reps had also just pre-ordered the Christmas catalogue, at a cost of $6 for 10. Employees, he said, were instructed not to communicate with the Regal reps. The company stopped taking catalogue orders on the 23rd because there was a printer problem, the source said employees were told. Regal was struggling to integrate the decades-old catalogue sales method with the emerging e-commerce market, he added.
