online shopping - deliveries.

I guess that's just life! Frustrations abound one way or another. I am just thankful not to have to trail around the shops really as shopping just wouldn't happen any other way. Usually the system works pretty well and I make sure that I pay on a credit card so have the benefit of the protection that it gives.
Hope the bike arrives soon and your DH gets great enjoyment from it.

Tricia, I find it nerve wracking waiting for deliveries. My house is not easy to find. It's very disappointing when things don't arrive!

I'm lucky in that I live on the edge of a town so deliveries are not a problem at all. I collect items directly from some stores so I don't pay delivery and can then return them (foc) at the post office or Co-op at the end of our road.
That's one of the reasons we chose to live here. It's easily accessible (bus service at the end of the road), shops and library nearby too and all on the flat for when we can't walk far.

Thanks for the replies - bike still hasn't arrived. But husband has calmed down now, I think he's forgotten about it (sh!)

Hooray! it arrived this afternoon.
But not such a big deal compared with the problems many on here are facing.
Still, I think shopping online gives more problems than it's worth.
