Question

I bought a thicker yoga mat, since the one I already had just wasn't doing it for me. Was gonna buy some dumbbells but.. they are still in the cart. Don't need 'em...  What about you?

There are items that are fine to order online. Recently purchased drawer dividers from Macy's for both low-profile kitchen drawers and deeper desk drawers. Both sets have made miraculous changes in organization of my drawers!

I can't believe I lived without them... though I knew they'd help me.. had been putting off this fact for too long.

Online ordering has its place. However, I'm a seamstress. Buying fabric online is horribly inaccurate. The true pleasure of getting fabric is in seeing and touching it in person. There's no computer that replaces the color apprehension of the human eye, and nothing to tell you about a fabric better than touching it and weighing it with your hands.

Whether you have Amazon Prime or not, having to return items you don't want is odious and time consuming.

Brick and mortar works for trying on clothing and seeing it in person. Chinese importers prey on American buyers by offering "embroidered" items that have pictures of embroidery on a jeans jacket! Scams. Or cut so they don't fit American bodies.

If the ad for foreign clothing does not show the model's face, the product is a knockoff. Additionally, if the price is too low, don't fall for a too good to be true product.
Buy from an American clearinghouse that guarantees your satisfaction and provides quick returns and money back.

The product will still be from China, Vietnam or Spain, BUT an American storefront stands behind the quality of that product and handles the distributor so YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!! You will pay more, but these facts make it worth it.

Get the best bang for your buck and uphold international relations too!!! kisses all...

It's ALWAYS a frickin FAIL with Wallymart!! I have to call their Customer Care department every single day because they are so screwed up with that online purchases!!
Today was the 2ND time that I brought a handbag on one week from them and both times they left the plastic security monitor on my bag!! Idiots!
Another handbag ordered and was supposed to be delivered 3 days ago. My text messages said "Delivered" but it wasn't.
I received a very upsetting email today that said that 24 Engezier batteries AND 24 Duracell batteries are going to be delivered tomorrow.
When I called the store the AI Bot found them but Customer Care said they didn't see anything about them.
WTF!!! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I bought a new bed and I'm very happy with it. I still have to get used to changes in how I sleep. Like sometimes I can sleep less and feel great but sometimes I still need more sleep. It'll just take some time to adjust I guess. But the quality of sleep is great I just need to sleep more regularly again :)

Big win. Behringer PB1000 for $79.99. It is a pedalboard case that holds 12 BOSS sized pedals and a tuner, with a built-in power supply and it came with the power daisy chain cable, a dozen patch cables, and a 2A power supply. The foam is even precut for the pedals.

Fail. Ordered a microwave off Amazon. Got it here and unwrapped. Pulled the door open and the latch broke. Already packed and got my refund. It was just a pain because I can't carry a microwave. I had to get someone to help me take it to the UPS store.

I probably shouldn't have but I bought more dresses and tops for my upcoming date even though I have like a lot of dresses and tops already in my closet. I'm a bit of a shopaholic. It hasn't come in yet but I'm sure it will be a win. I get all my clothes from Shein and it's usually always a win.

I bought chocolate. They made it out of the cart 🛒 to my card. It says it’s on the way. It’s so hot that I’m scared they will arrive melted. Still a few days for them to arrive. I just placed the order yesterday.

it because I had already ordered them and they were so good I finished them and they’re supposed to be for my boyfriend’s mom as a gift because I’ve never met her. So now I’m waiting hoping they arrive in good shape.

Last thing I bought that has arrived was some earrings to switch out my rook piercing. Took me like 20 minutes to finally get it in but it was successful. I got three two for my rook one is just a bar with cubic zirconias on either end and the other is a hoop with a snake dangling down. The third is a cute long cubic zirconia for my helix piercing.

Most recent order is on its way from Temu. Got a mount plate for my porch light, some fairy lights and some cricut stuff. Hopefully it all works well.

Black stretch trousers which fit to stiletto boots, product is okay, quality good but Zalando delivered it one week too late. I noticed they deliver cheap stuff at next or second day but more expensive clothes need at least a week.

Some books on eBay. I was looking for one book that was second in a series. I found six books in the series for dirt cheap, so I bought them. I already had two of them, but it was still a very good deal. So a winner.

One book was missing in the shipment - the one I really wanted. As soon as I contacted the seller they immediately responded. They sent the missing book priority mail. So the seller was a winner also.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I got a free fresh pair of J's #XII's. In that respect it was a helluva win. But I never wore them because I didn't want to ruin them. And I found out the hard way that the industrial glue that make the makes shoes with degrades over time even if you aren't wearing them. So 8 years later I put them on and they fell apart real fast. I didn't even get to enjoy wearing them very long. Do in that way it was a fail.🫤

But hey, they were free so it wasn't that bad.

My last two purchases were my taxes for 2024 and a milk shake from Uber eats for my oldest daughter. I got a 873 dollar refund and paid zero taxes in 2024 but my daughter fell asleep watching a movie with me before the milk shake got to me. It's a wash I guess. She can eat it tomorrow but it's never the same.
