    I don't really *do* internet shopping but, there are times when it can't be avoided.

    Worse, the particular item(s) I wanted needed could only be bought via a USA site. The item(s) themselves were not expensive but boy (!) the postage was :thud:

    After much um'ing and ah'ing (and trying to find a water tight argument as to why I *should* go ahead) ... I thought "Blow pobs!" ... my money ... do wot I want!

    Today, checked my emails and there is one from the company I made my purchase with - ok, fine, probably the confirmation yada-yada-yada [​IMG]

    No! It wasn't :th scifD36: it was an email to inform me that there was a mistake on the postage and ...


    .... I have been refunded HALF OF IT!!!! :yikes: :hapfeet: :yes:

    Not everyday *that* happens :thumbsup:
    Plus, (the kicka bonus) ... when the deliver comes I don't even have to use my water-leaking justification argument on Mr "M" :yahoo: :heehee:

    Lucky, lucky me :wub2:
