There have been a few problems, like the time when I ordered some Australian Merlot wine. They were out of stock on the Merlot so the person picking my order substituted Australian Shiraz.The thing is, I wanted Merlot not Shiraz, but they thought the most important thing was the fact that it was Australian. On reflection, I'm just glad I didn't receive a boomerang.
Anyway, I think the whole on line shopping for groceries is in decline. I base this observation on the fact that our shopping was very often late or it appeared at the very end of our allocated slot. But things have changed, Our shopping is getting earlier and earlier and always before our allocated time.
I don't want it early. I want it during the slot that I have booked. This allows them to organise their deliveries and me to organise the rest of my day. Coming early isn't a bonus it's a pain in the Jacksy.
We usually have the shopping delivered between 9am and 11am, so imagine my surprise this week when I took some stuff out to the wheelie bin and parked up at the end of the street was the delivery van. The driver, who we knew well, was reading a newspaper that was propped on the steering wheel.
I checked my watch and noted that the time was 8:20am, so that is at least 40 minutes earlier and too early for even him to turn up on our doorstep. I had a slice of toast and he knocked on the door at ten minutes to nine.
On a happier note, we have just taken delivery of a new car and we are pleased with it. However, we did have a strange experience when choosing the model and I will tell you about that in my next post.
By the way, I have decided to extend the free offer regarding my book Bossyboots.
