As the opposite of what has pissed me off...

Ordered a very expensive USB charger from the Gay of E at 7pm (Sunday). Arrived by noon today (Monday). Suitably impressed.
I'm finding a lot of ebay purchases are delivered quickly recently by Royal Fail ,some orders are being delivered by Amazon vans too

It doesn't always go well though , I ordered a brand new 500 GB SSD , a crappy 1 TB spinny toshiba external drive arrived ,had to disk part clear it to get it recognised (to find out how old it was etc) 2019 complained and said send a refund ,but the seller insisted I return the crappy EWASTE spinny drive which meant going to the post office

Check that they didn’t charge you double due to a software glitch.

I didn't have to pay , I asked for a pre paid return label

I did cost me time though

My experience of internet purchases is boring compared to some. I order something and it arrives. I know that sounds crazy but that’s just how it is.

Same here

Lidl and Aldi do often sell a selection of tools for breaking and entering, stealing catalytic converters , copper etc ,
and also a good selection of "stabbing each other" kit

they probably want you to struggle past them , so they can steal your wallet or purse, mobile phone

We used to occasionally like a relaxing walk round a car boot sale in the warmer months, but it's like walking round a dodgy market in a foreign country now that the tour rep said "don't go there"

Acquired 2 freebie logo puddle lights, so fitted them. Made 3 further good ones from the pile of shite ones I had accumulated.

Oh, and put some electricity in it as it was dry. Didn't really need it though.
