Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money.

I'm so stupid

Sigh. I bought a book today. I went with the used but in new condition one. Then I debated whether or not I should buy it.

A few hours later I came back and decided to buy it. Since I had so many Amazon GCs, I decided to buy the new one (because that way I wouldn't pay anything for it).

Then I saw my email. I had three emails from Amazon. Two were regarding the used book that apparently I decided to buy and quickly forgot that I had purchased.

The other was about the same book, only new and full priced that I also decided to purchase.

So, no problem. Go to Amazon. They take days to ship anyway. Shit. I didn't pick super-saver shipping since I wanted the book so bad. That means they don't sit on your order for a week. My order already is "processing".

Ok... go to sdrawer.com to get Amazon's 800 number. Call CS. Explain how stupid I am. "Well, you can refuse the delivery".

"But I want the other things I ordered. Just not the book."

"Well, then you can pay to ship the book back."

Sigh.

Great. So not only did I pay shipping (twice!) but, now I'm also paying for the return.

Sigh. And to think, I was only shopping Amazon because I can't do any real damage there.

Margaret, who has been itching to shop all day long.

Re: I'm so stupid



I'm always happy when I'm too busy to shop for awhile. It's nice to get the shopping Jones at the same time I have a list of things I want/need and can bang them out in a set amount of time, like a four hour block.

Keeps me from forgetting what I just did.

(Don't worry too much about paying the shipping both times, these things happen. My problem would be never remembering to return one and having paid for it twice. )
