More from the Cyber Store
So, Cyber Monday (Nov. 27) didn’t live up the hype. According to Reuters, neither “Black Friday” the day after Thanksgiving or the following Monday yielded the retail bonanza that was expected.
I don’t know about you, but my cyber shopping this year has been a mixed bag. Retailers have been inconsistent with their free shipping specials. Plus, I’ve found that many items are out of stock or can’t promise delivery during the holidays.
Worst are the orders that are completely wrong. Already I’ve received two items in the mail that were shipped as the wrong size or wrong color (try telling a nine or 14 year old that they’ll have to wear the wrong size or color because the cyber store messed up).
A wrong order sent through the mail means only one thing – a trip to that denizen of “old school,” the post office. I’m not relishing the thought of standing on line at the PO with my returns. That kind of inconvenience just leads to PO-ed cyber shoppers.
How about you? How has your cyber holiday shopping measured up?
