I recently ordered a new Sony DVD recorder thingy from an internet company (a brand new product just released) via the internet at m. and I took delivery of it the next morning at m. :shock: :shock:

Internet shopping, the upside.
Hi Judy
I have had the same success with my Fuji (Finepix S602Z) for the same items. This was a while back and I can not remember the company but I had both lenses and adaptor rings within 24 hrs.
See you on the 3rd Dec maybe.

PS = Daylight filters for the can be bought as standard from any well known Photo Shop.
the filters fit on the adaptor ring and not on the lens, >>>>> byeeee

So I was over the moon when I got a knock on my flat door this morning and a nice young man wanted a signature for the massive box measuring 16inches x 12inches x 8 inches.
There's me thinking you had invited the delivery young man in, and we were going to get a tale as to what happened, and that size did matter!!!!!!!

I do most of my shopping on the internet and rarely have a problem.......but I was searching for a gift for my nephew recently and none of the mjaor retailers could supply it in less than two weeks.....I googled the item and found a little independent retailer in Yorkshire who had it in stock, quoted 3-5 days for the courier to get it to my nephew and managed it within 48 hours!
I was really impressed that they could outdo the major retailers and they were SO helpful too.
Same story with Dell on a recent order, quoted a week and I received my order in 36 hours!

Not sure if your stuff came via Royal Mail or another (dirty low down non-union minimum wage cowboy) delivery company. But there is a massive amount of post coming through the postal system now that is "online-trading" stuff.
Most of it is delivered within the specified times, but people only seem to remember the ones that go astray or are late. And then Royal Mail gets the blame. Nine times out of ten it isn't actually our fault. You wouldn't believe the amount of mail we can't deliver because people have put the wrong address on it, or an address without a street name or house number. Or simply hasn't been posted.
Of course the person who posted it blames us, as does the recipient, when it fails to arrive. If they had very very simply put their return address on the item, RM could have delivered it back to them with the reason for non delivery. As it is the items we can't deliver are destroyed after being held for 3 months.
And with it coming up to Xmas, the amount of non deliverable mail goes through the roof...a return address should ALWAYS be used. Preferably on the back of the envelope...

Me too, love internet shopping! I rarely venture into town for anything unless it is something I can't get online. Many high street shops have online stores now anyway, so why bother with bruised ankles and queues when you can just click a mouse? Also you can glance at other non-shopping sites while you do your on-line shopping

I've had this problem a couple of times as I sell an awful lot on the main auction site. Simply by putting my postcode and house number on the back of the parcel has saved me a lot of bother and a few £££ with things that would have otherwise went missing.
Nightspeed on the other hand.
fully endorse what the postie says..... well done colleague.
as for online purchasing - only time i have been let down was on * bay bought a mobile phone and it never arrived.
i am liasing with pay pal at the moment in the vacant hope of getting a refund.
ALWAYS PUT A RETURN ADDRESS ON EVERYTHING YOU SEND - EVEN IF IT'S JUST YOUR POSTCODE WITH YOUR HOUSE NUMBER, WE'LL FIND IT !!

I've been lucky woth my online purchases as well. (fingers crossed it stays that way)
Had good service from Dell recently but one of my best was an American seller on Ebay.
I bought a box of silk flowers from her over Easter time and they were with me in 5 days. I was really impressed.
The fact that I never needed them wasn't her fault :lol: :lol:

eBay addict here......I got the bug when I was looking for a particular 12" single, signed up and started selling, and before I knew it I was selling up just about everything I own.
Sitting here on an empty crate with just a candle to light and keep me warm, but with a healthy paypal balance so I'm looking through trying to find a load of crap that someone else is selling to give to friends and family for christmas.
So don't ask me to contribute to any lucky dip present schemes or you might end up with a half-used bottle of Smitty, a collection of Whimsies or the entire back catalogue of the Handless Organist on MFP recordings.

Thought this was an appropriate news item for this thread. Beware the Christmas price increases
Strange that Sony should feature in this news article. They have also been slammed recently for including covert software on some of their CDs. If you are thinking about buying foreign (usually US-based) CDs or DVDs from any of the Sony labels, be aware that it may include copy protection software. This is installed without your knowledge or consent and if you try to remove it without having a serious amount of IT expertise it can mess up your CD drive and operating system (applies to Windows only).
An article is available here:
Look out for anything labelled "Copy Protected" or similar. My advice is to avoid these for the time being. Most online stores clearly label them as such and it's printed on the packaging so you can't miss it.
They are not the first entertainment media organisation to try this, but their lack of interest in the difficulties they have caused consumers is pretty dire. Other organisations (most recently EMI) withdrew similar software after complaints. Sony have no intentions of doing so, saying they will be moving to a different version.
The most serious aspect of the software is that it deploys a backdoor onto your PC which hackers can take advantage of, and a virus has already surfaced.
A case of buyer beware if you are purchasing internationally......

Sony have now agreed to stop production of this type of CD protection. See BBC site for various reports - AND it only affected CDs from USA.
But they have stated they have no intentions of withdrawing these CDs for sale which could also surface 2nd hand on other sites such as eBay......

:roll: :roll: I used to do a lot of internet shopping from online auctions but also from WAHM (work at home mums) and have never yet been let down, many times I've been very impressed with what I've received 
I do agree with Postie though the times I've had stuff that has no return address on is ridiculous (and have had my own parcel returned once :doh: overenthusiastic postal service there).
