I've only ordered a couple of things online. The first was a PS1 which I got because the Slim PS2 apparently has a piece in it that dies after a while, causing it to become incapable of playing PS1 games. I got the console which unfortunately didn't come with any cords. Sent the seller an email and he sent them over in the next couple days.
I was not aware that level of honesty existed when he could have just said "screw off".chromewarriorXIII said:
Ah, yes, I remember fondly the first thing I ever bought off the internet:
A Papa John's pizza. Just clicked around, typed in the order and address, and 25 minutes later or so, a car pulled up, and I got the door, wrote the check, said thanks, was web-surfing with tomato sauce and cheese.
I'd be happier if the web did more Cash On Delivery stuff. Ah well.
Being in China, it's a bit expensive to order stuff from the West that can't be downloaded. Getting through customs is a headache, too.

Mostly various toys (Gundam, G.I. Joes, Halo, etc.), computer parts, and occasionally a case of Brawndo, as well as t-shirts and various other bits and bobs that I'll never really need. Like that USB rocket launcher.
Paypal
Depends on where it's coming from; imported stuff takes a few weeks, domestic takes a few days.

I live in Southeastern Canada and the hat is coming from somewhere in the States. Just ordered it a few hours ago, how long do you think it will take to get here?Alex the Pally said:
Nah, it's just required by law to have a contact number in case something goes wrong.Akai Shizuku said:
99% nothing will happen, but there is a slight chance that your package will be stopped for some reason, and they'll have to contact you to clear anything up. It happened to me when my buddy and I ordered a few cases of Bawls to 'distribute' at our fundraising events for our anti-social club - Guarana isn't recognized by the Canadian Food Board, and thus can't be sold as food in Cananda. But it can technically be consumed, though it took a little effort.

I got it because it was cheaper online than in in store. I ordered it on a weekend, it was processed and lodged at Australia post two days later at 2:30 PM as the day before was a public holiday. It was delivered the day after at 10:30 AM. (Good thing I live in the Sydney Metropolitan Area)
I got my mum to pay with American Express and yes I probably will use it again.
