Ordering something online is so simple and fun 🙂

It's just a click away right? Not in my case. Here's my process.

1. Google what I'm after

2. Filter the qualities I'm looking for

3. Click on each item that seems attractive

4. Read at least 20 reviews on each item

*A few hours later*


5. Put chosen items in my cart

6. Compare the items in the cart and take one by one out of the cart until there's only one left.

7. Decide if the item is something I want or need right now

8. Decide if I wanna lay my budget on it now or some other time.

9. Get exhausted and tired from the whole process and procrastinate it until I have energy again and can go back on the step I were on.

*A few days /weeks/ months /years later*

10. Finds the item still laying in my cart and clicks "purchase item" unless I'm looking for something else now. Then back to step 1.

I love tracking the package, as the red dot makes its way across the map.
Then the sudden knock at the front door.

@SethGreene531 It's how to have Christmas early we say me and my partner
@Queendragonfly It is like an early Christmas! 🤭 Only a click away.

Just waiting on a desk set I ordered was so much fun.

@SethGreene531 It should count as a sport 😆

I'm currently not waiting on anything and it takes the stress away but it also takes the excitement away so it's +-0
@Queendragonfly For certain.
It can be very addictive.

Such a low point when morning courier vans are stopping at everyone's house except yours 😔

@SethGreene531 *Depression incoming*

Or when you track - track - track and suddenly it says they lost the tracking and the package has vanished

Happened to my latest order

But fortunately I got my money back , and then my parcel arrived still , just later than expected
@Queendragonfly Oh ...that's terrible! How nerve wracking!

Thank goodness you got the refund, plus the order. That's rare!

I start to worry when it says "On-Truck" for most of a day. 🤔How many stops did they have?... Did the truck break down?...Are they Lost/out of gas? ...Is my package lost?

@SethGreene531 Yeah it's rare or else I'd have a great business idea 😂

"How many stops did they have?... Did the truck break down?...Are they Lost/out of gas? ...Is my package lost?"

Imagine if we cared this much about people 😂
@Queendragonfly Missed business opportunity 😔🤷‍♂️

Yes, notice the emphasis is on the new leather chair, or the bookshelves arriving safe and sound 😆

Meanwhile, the grandparents are 2 hrs late in a snowstorm, and we're still placidly sipping tea 😅

@SethGreene531 "They're old and dying soon anyways, but where is my package, is it okay?"
@Queendragonfly 😂 " They have little left to live for; besides, they won't feel much pain anyhow"
