One of the drawbacks of shopping online is you miss the instant gratification of taking home the goods you've bought right there and then. As I've discovered over the last few days though, this is more than made up for by the anticipation of waiting for ordered goods to arrive.
This is especially the case if you're given a tracking number once your order has been dispatched. Much time can be spent checking the website to see where your package was last scanned. Time is also spent speculating what the course of action may be should your package arrive whilst there is no one at home vis a vis alternative pick up arrangements. It's great.
Well, actually no it's not. It's torture. I want my stuff NOW!
Thankfully yesterday I was put out of my misery. Of course I had chosen last night to go out for a few drinks with a friend after work so though my stuff was delivered in the afternoon I wasn't able to get at it until 11.30pm when I got home. It was worth the wait though, the Canon S2IS digital camera is lovely and shiny and has lots of buttons on it. Given the lateness of the hour that's about as much of a review as I can give it just now - apart from the fact that all the reviews were right, there's no way that lens cap is staying on.
