I have Amazon Prime, and that usually deliver orders next day, but with most online retailers, a wait of three to five working days between an order being placed and it being delivered in more the norm.<br /><br />It’s nice to actually go to see what you are buying, but as so few shops have any online stock information, you can end up travelling to a shop, only to find that the item you want isn’t in stock.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-27334406316181427622021-05-14T13:00:10.256+01:002021-05-14T13:00:10.256+01:00Ed M,

(I make a exception when it comes to buying modelling stuff and books!)<br /><br />Retailing has changed drastically since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. People were already moving towards great online buying, and the pandemic has accelerated the process. That - combined with the much faster courier/postal delivery/returns system we now have - has made online shopping so much easier.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-5915263784104488842021-05-14T12:34:02.736+01:002021-05-14T12:34:02.736+01:00Now let us hope that jacket and trousers arrive at...Now let us hope that jacket and trousers arrive at the same time at the meeting :)Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-88819757004883605122021-05-14T12:20:52.298+01:002021-05-14T12:20:52.298+01:00Hi Bob,

It is somewhat amazing that we can do our shopping via the Net - I ordered my Thomas Engine from Sydney (Free Postal Charge) and a day later the package arrived on my doorstep- just great service. In the old days I'd have traveled into Sydney by Train and gone to the shop- possibly only to find they didn't have what I intended to buy on their shelf...yes, modern technology certainly has it's benefits.

Amazon are amazing, they sell just about anything and it arrives next day. I am aware however of the toll this is taking on the traditional High Street store, but personally I never enjoyed tramping round the shops to find what I was looking for. I guess a downside of clothes shopping online is that you don't get to try them on before you buy, but these days things just get sent straight back with no quibbles. Glad the suit fitted you OK.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-28829724631739771712021-05-14T11:42:05.279+01:002021-05-14T11:42:05.279+01:00David Crook,
