Poll: Ever ordered something off the Internet?

[Akai Shizuku]

why'd you order the hat?
I order airsoft guns and gear from teh interwebs

Besides it being made of win, I ordered it to display my political beliefs - that is, the stateless, classless, egalitarian and democratic society that the hammer and sickle symbolizes. While the hat is of Soviet design and use, and the Soviet Union was not by definition communist, the hammer and sickle is still there.

Hmm last thing was Patron Saint of Plagues (book)off Amazon. It took just a few days. It was a ok book.

I have Netflix, if that counts.

I ordered a GBA game on eBay and after two months only received an empty cartridge! No data card or save battery, nothin'! God knows what he did with the stuff, can't imagine there's much of a market for GBA games with no cartridge.

That's messed up. Did you call the guy to make him send it?

No. He lived in Taiwan. Wish I could have.

The one doing the salute. I laugh my ass off every time I see his face...and the mustache.

Yea, he looks pretty funny. IF he had the hat on, I cry of laughter.

You have to wonder if the photographer made it look like this on purpose.

If he did, then I would love to high five that man. He did a great job.

I'm still thinking that I might get my friend to photoshop the other hat on there just for lulz. Then post it on 4chan and start a meme.

Yes. Everyone will then photoshop that stupid hat on every picture

Don't forget the motivator macros.

True. You can never forget the motivator macros.

Holy shit that was funny. Nice job.

Only took me a few minutes too.

I try not to get something shipped from overseas if I can. I always get ripped off on shipping. "Shipping of parts costs $100 per kilogram." In reality, the receipt says that it was only $30 or something. Annoying.

Has anyone here ever ordered anything off of the Internet? If so, how did it go for you? Recently I ordered this.

So? What did you guys order?

EDIT: Another question I wanted to ask...What payment methods do you prefer, and has anyone ever scammed you?
EDIT EDIT: How long did it take for your stuff to get to your house?

Ever played red alert 3? You get to play as the USSR. Also, are you an Obama supporter, jk .

 

[Kriptonite]

I've gotten a couple things off the internet, and it only took like 2 weeks at the most.

Never played that, but I do have CoD5, where you also play as them. It's awesome, I love the PPSh-41.

I am not an Obama supporter; I will never support any leader who continues support for Israel. But that's a story for another thread.

Be sure to cut the fag-tags off! Always bothers me when people wear berets with them sticking out....

(I am NOT being homophobic, that is what the strings on the back of the beret are called.)

[LuntiX]

I've ordered a bunch of shirts from the EA Store, Splitreason, and one other website. For that I just used a prepaid credit card. For my computer parts I used paypal.

 

[brainfreeze215]

I'm currently typing this on a computer I bought on the internet, while listening to a CD I bought on the internet, through speakers that I bought on the internet, while sitting in a room decorated with a tapestry that I bought on the internet, in my apartment which I found... on the internet, which I drive to on my motorcycle, which I also found on the internet.

Most of which were from ebay or amazon marketplace. I've never been ripped off.

Oh yeah, I got this shirt on the internet too.

 

[Jsnoopy]

I have, and I will again, but I really don't like to.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Does steam count? If not, then Yes anyways because I order my college books online.

 

[Saad77]

I buy tons of stuff online, usually games, shirts, computer parts and a few things off ebay. I've had very few problems with the orders or shipping.

About the hat....i've bought a few similar items off ebay, including a couple 1940's-60's style coats. I was wearing one out one time and an older russian guy stopped me and told me those were the coats the soldiers wore in the prisons there. After that I thought about that and what those things really represented and if i wanted people to think i supported those things. I never wore those things out again (this was about 10 or more years ago). I do still have those items because i really like the style and way they look, but i keep them at home. Lesson learned, think about what image you are portraying when you wear certain things and if that's what you want. Also, read up on history!
