Remember when e-commerce was somewhat of a novelty and people still went to stores for everything? Ok, so they ordered from catalogs, sometimes even being so radical as to do it over the phone....
I have had many positive e-commerce experience and swear by it in fact, even ordering my groceries online via Peapod...however, I am so ticked off -
I decided not to be outdone by my friend at work who recently bought herself a cocktail ring....so late Sunday afternoon (when I should have been getting dinner started) I bought one on ebay that I love and damn if I don't get screwed just like I do every time...I'm salivating at the thought of it arriving in the mail (big honkin' aquamarine) and the seller emails me - after I emailed first to inquire *annoying* and says they are having problems on their end with paypal...I want to scream...why can't this be easy for me??? I am like an e-commerce, ebay, mail order disaster...Ok so I've had some good experiences but unlike pregnancy and childbirth I only remember the BAD SHIT! I ordered a kids' CD player for Jax back while I was still on maternity leave. It arrived but I didn't even open the outer packaging because I didn't want him to see it and it was meant to be for when he was going potty regularly....I relented and gave for Christmas and the goddamned thing didn't work from the start - too bad the window to return to smartbargains had run out 4 months prior and so more aggravation for me......ugh! after several calls including one to the UK I got them to agree to take it back and they're no longer selling it so I'm off to find a replacement somehow because darned if that 3 year old doesn't realize his stereo is gone! sorry for the rant and now the little brat is up and singing and it's nearly 10...I should copy this into a blog, huh?
