I've just bought a computer online from pc world, Including the bank holiday, it only took 2days to arrive, p&p was only £4.95 so I was well pleased and I might just do it again. So much easier than trudging round the shops as long as you know what you want. :funneh The downside.... it arrived via DHL!!! :d'oh!

Done my 1st online shop with Tesco last week, I was quite impressed everything I ordered was delivered. Only downside I thought was having to trawl through the items to find what I wanted, should be easier when I do it next time. I'm glad I decided to start last week shopping online as I ended up in hospital very unwell this week so luckily the kids had plenty of food to chose from , normally I do a daily shop as I don't have a car.
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

Been shopping online with sainsburys for 9 months now and me and the boss think its brilliant. Spend over £70 tues,wed,thurs and it only costs £2.50 for delivery. Any problems you give them a ring and they sort it out for you.

I do Tescos on line and it put all your purchased goods into the favourites section. The other good thing is if you pop onto any Tescos and remember to present your "Club" card when paying whatever you got on that trip also gets added into your favourites.

Id recommend Tescos as I have had nothing but good experiences with them. But most of the big ones do it so first I would check out your regular shop on line

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.

That will because of those shitty agriculture jobs paying shitty money that only migrant workers want to do.

i use amazon and play a lot. amazon are good for electronics like mp3 players. i also use 7dayshop.com and dabs direct quite a bit

I've used tesco a few times, it was great when i couldnt drive, much cheaper and easier than a taxi but now i have my own wheels i prefer to do it myself, that way if something is out of stock i can decide myself what to replace it with. Also i believe that if you do use tesco online there is an option somethere to either have them choose something for you if they are out of stock or for you to just go without.
