Poll: Ever ordered something off the Internet?

[SomethingUnrelated]

I've ordered mainly games from Amazon. They've never failed me, so no reason to fear them people.

 

[Geamo]

Well yes, loads of things. I regularly use Amazon.co.uk for free delivery as well as nearly always having some sort of a sale on. I also use Steam to buy some indie games, and various other things.
I prefer to buy off a company, rather than some douche on eBay or Craigslist.

Spoiler: most awesome tie ever

I ordered this among other things like caffeinated root beer [G33K B33R], a prehistoric desk plant that only requires once every decade, several foreign CDs [which reminds me that I need to get another one soon: New Manegarm!], 2 Japanese DS games, several DVDs, a couple of T-shirts.

I have not yet been scammed so I consider myself lucky ^__^

I order almost all my games over the internet, I bought my computer and all the parts I added to it over the years over the internet, my TV, my PS3, my new speakers, my MP3 player, my DVD's/Blu Ray's and 90% of my books.

So yes you can say I order stuff from the internet and yes I thínk I might do it again. What can I say, it's usually cheaper.

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?

i tend to stay away from ebay but my familly use it way too much.

i use my mums credid card and with game the delivery is very fast with play a little slower.

 

[Sevre]

I buy everything off the internet these days, wider selection.

 

[jonnosferatu]

Yes, and I will continue to do so. I buy virtually everything that isn't basic food off of the internet, typically from Amazon.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

PC peripherals, kendo gear. Heck, even my whole pc.

 

[RanD00M]

A couple of games.With and without Steam.

EDIT: Another question I wanted to ask...What payment methods do you prefer, and has anyone ever scammed you?

Visa debit card. Nobody has yet scammed me, but it will probably happen at some stage. It is just one of those things I guess.

I ordered this:-

[Gardenia]

All my computers have been ordered from the net. (Or rather, the separate parts have been.) Also Mp3-players, headsets, a few books, steam games and concert tickets. Probably a few other things as well.

 

[badgersprite]

Yes. Frequently. It saves on the frustration of going out and looking for something only to find it isn't sold in your country. <_< Really, though, I spend money so infrequently that, on the rare cases that I do actually want to buy something, it's something I want to the point that I'm willing to pay for shipping and handling. Only once have I had trouble with things getting lost in transit. Books from the US.

 

[razer17]

Yeah. In fact I'm waiting for my nice new skullcandy headphones to arrive. I really want them. Ordering stuff online is just really simple, so I will do it again.

 

[Socken]

Where's the option for "Everything electronic I use was ordered on the internet"?

 

[Nemu]

God. All of the time. Hell, I Christmas/Birthday shop online.

Movies, music, games, books, comp parts, clothes, animation cels... tons of stuff.

 

[AlphaOmega]

Bought/Sold tons of stuff on Dutch version of Ebay, ebay itself and simmilar sites.
I buy most games on steam, I order my gunpla online.

Paypal.

awesome hat! I usually buy my headphones online because I can get alot of decent pairs for cheap prices, the pair I am using at the moment are great and they only cost a fiver. I try to buy things off the internet because for some reason they are cheaper, which I never understood. But anyway I usually buy my headphones and occasionally my games online.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

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!

I appreciate the advice. The beret was worn by Soviet naval infantry and elite ground units, so unless someone was gravely pissed off by one of those two, I think I'll be fine.

 

[Hazy]

I order quite a bit from the internet.
In fact, I prefer it to shopping in stores (Despite paying the extra S+H.) Sometimes, I really don't want to deal with people.

These are the past 5 things I have ordered, never been scammed, payed with Paypal.

Spoiler

All for under $100.
