I have to chime in here, I have found that just about any mail order (or
internet based) shopping one does has "side effects". That is if your not
shopping in a store, looking at what you want (able to touch it and feel it,
etc...) then their is a chance for foul up. That is why I don't shop on-line
(or mail order catalog) for clothes. I need to try them on before I buy to
make sure they are what I want.

Also even then you get a hassle... example, ordinary weekend job... any
plumbing or electrical around the house "fix it" task. Maybe its just me
but, I always end up at the hardware store about 4 times before the job is
done.

After considering this why complain about something that will happen.
Instead give praise when a on-line order goes right !
