| My partial apologies to DrugEmporium.com
as my order arrived today. Perhaps I was a bit harsh in the sentiment
I expressed in yesterday's diary entry,
though it was how I felt at the time. I had placed an order on December
26 (and I knew that it would not ship on Sunday) and another order
on December 27 (Monday). I had been expecting both orders to arrive
on December 28 (Tuesday) as they offered free next day delivery.
They arrived today (Wednesday), one day later than expected. In yesterday's
diary entry, I commented in parentheses that I was annoyed by their failure
to deliver as promised. I had reason to believe that the order was
not going to arrive even today. When I checked on the status of my
order during the late hours of Tuesday evening (actually, early Wednesday
morning), DrugEmporium's website indicated that the orders had not shipped.
Obviously, their order status information database needs to be better coordinated
with the actual status of an order.
Incidentally, I was just notified by CVS.com that my order with them finally shipped (recall that I placed this order on December 26 -- Sunday). CVS took more time to ship my order than did DrugEmporium; shame on you CVS (hey, I need to be fair). I have no idea what is happening with my Rx.com order. The race is still on between CVS and Rx. Go drugstores go, I want my Mylanta cherry flavored tablets. My online purchase of the day was an order from Streamline. It was a large order given the holiday weekend and that the sky will be falling on 01-01-00 (oooh, I'm scared). I hope they can deliver on my order for 7,000 (plus or minus 6,996) bottles of water . I'm working on a new song, "The Ballad of an Unnamed Internet 24/7 Shopper." On track 45 is an online shopper
Shopping any hour of the day
He's looking for good deals
Shopitashop and a shopitashoop
Carries nothing from a car
The mailman is his friend
The clicks go by
Shopitashop and a shopitashoop
This might be getting long (dramatic pause)
His wife might say uh uh
I don't pick up things on the way home
And so I hope
(This is still a work in progress.) My 3rd favorite thing to buy online is the Yellow Submarine George Harrison figure manufactured by McFarlane Toys. |
