Do you shop on line?

Post by POSTMAN »

I've been a member some affiliates for some time now and i haven't put them up,two big ones i've got are Amazon and Kelkoo
Due to recent events,i was just wondering,do you guys use Amazon or Kelkoo,or any other online shopping sites regularly.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I get a lot of stuff from Amazon. There is decent cash to be made from using links. Quite a few rugby league messageboards pay for themselves from the commission, so put the link up mate!

I do lots of shopping on line - find it easier than wandering round the shops.

Like most blokes I only shop for what I want.

Use Amazon quite a bit and so do my family.

Latest purchase from Amazon 4gb pen drive about 2 weeks go from an e mail I got from them.

only use them mainly to browse for ideas,xmas,birthday,wedding aniv,etc and to compare prices before buying as comet usually manage to get most of my money but if you can the links get them up and running as long as people do actually browse and not just hit for cash then there should be no problem,its as easy to go from here as use a short cut

I've found Play just that bit cheaper than Amazon. DVD's, CD's and video games are always cheaper online than in town, plus, slow walking grannies and puffs with man bags piss me off so I avoid it if I can.
I tend to buy most things online nowadays, even the weekly big shop.

I tend to buy off Amazon, going to start doing my weekly shop online can't stand going to the supermarket anymore.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Just a cautionary tale - my neighbour shopped on line with a well known shopping giant beginning with the letter T and was sent a load of stuff he hadn't ordered and was short of stuff he had ordered.

My daughter shopped on line with the big supermarket chain beginning with the letter A - it didn't arrive! The excuse was they didn't have a driver available, the computer had gone down, they had sent it - that was depending on who she spoke to.

I am dragged to the supermarket once a week by she who must be obeyed - luckily it's only a 2 minute drive.

I've had loads of problems using online supermarkets, it's less stressfull going in person!

I buy most of my DVD's and Xbox games from the internet, it's far cheaper than the high street. Also pick up trainers and stuff from ebay quite often.
I'm working to my time!

I use Tescos every week and have only had 1 or 2 problems. When they send the wrong stuff they say I can keep at no charge, and if they don't send something they refund me. Once I booked it on the wrong day but the driver knowing I was a postie came back when he knew I'd be in. He's getting a bottle of whisky from me for Xmas.
