There is something to be said for those of us who shop online. What is that something? I am not sure. I love to shop online, because I sit in the comfort of my living room in my PJs or whatever or at my desk at work, and shop away. This means I don't have to go to Malls, or Wal-Mart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond,fight the crowds, parking, etc etc to get what I need or would like to have. I just click "add to cart" and "Pay". The stores then gather up my items and ship them to me and the USPS or the UPS man brings them to my door. Convenient right? Most of the time, yes.
But then there are the times when the item is broken, doesn't fit right, or wasn't what I ordered at all. Then is when the pain in the a$$, I mean butt happens. I have to repack everything "in the same box it was shipped in", make sure I have all the paperwork in order and make a trip to the post office. I hate going to the post office. The post office is never open when I can go to it.
Now Amazon has come up with a way that is so much better. You just print their postage paid thingy to tape to the outside of the box, put another thingy they give you inside the box along with your original shipping receipt and call the post office to pick it up! Voila...pretty cool huh?
Well this time, I don't have my original shipping receipt. (it's probably in my piles of junk around the house somewhere, but it's not worth it to me to go digging for it). I write to Amazon to see if I can get a copy. They don't answer. There is not a phone number to call, an email address to get Customer help or anything. Do they really think they never make mistakes? I have to admit, I have shopped at Amazon for years and only just recently have I had some things broken in shipment.
All in all, shopping online is a great experience and I have had very good luck with my ordering. I have received everything I have ever ordered. And I have ordered a LOT from a LOT of different places. I am now in the process of trying to find a safety orange zip up sweatshirt for my hubby. I am having trouble with that one. Wal-Mart has them, but they are out of stock for now. Guess I'll just check back later. For now, I have to get a package ready for Amazon so that USPS can pick it up. See ya later.
Yeah, sometimes I think it's way TOO convenient! When they keep your cc numbers saved and everything and you don't even have to open up your purse!
That gets me every time.
