The Future of Shopping

Prepare for Success

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.”

Hustle

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”

Make the Years Count

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

See the Brighter Side of Things

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”

Constantly Improve

“The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can…”

I don’t think the answer is as straightforward as you might suspect.

Where is the problem?, sales or middle management?

So I didnt give them positive feedback… what did they do?.. they offered to fully refund me if I just changed it to positive feedback.. which natually I did, how many other people do?.. probably lots…

So I got these OK products from china… and full refunds… just for a feedback switch… good or bad? – well good and bad… don’t know…

A very fine bottle of wine

On both calls I got the usual sort of stuff you expect to hear when you call up someone and they can’t really help you (although I did request them to send the in-stock bundled items and send the rest when in stock which they refused); but also I was told on both occasions that as my card had not been charged yet I could cancel the order if I wanted to.

So I did, after 2 weeks of waiting for play.com selling this for £240 with an ongoing delay of over a month, I found John Lewis selling the same black console with sports and sports resort with motionplus for £150 which you could pick up from a store the following day. Also the balance board was expected in stock at amazon.co.uk around a week later for £85, so I called them up to ask if I placed an order online I would be sure to get one of that consignment and indeed that is the case.

I picked up the wii last saturday and have enjoyed it for 3 days now it’s a really great console, and amazon will have the remaining item wii fit plus with balance board here tomorrow (5 days earlier than expected)

So I cancel with play and less than a week later I get what I ordered from two other retailers and save £5.

Little did  I know that was Scientology trying to lure a 25 year old me into it’s clutches, so today the more informed me saw this little show and wanted to have a go of some sort at them. As I walked back to the car I walked more and more slowly… then a girl asked me if I was interested in a free stress test… to which I confidently replied “Isn’t this that cult that takes away all your money?”, she said “No it isn’t”, I looked at it and finally said “well it certainly looks like it”, then walked away feeling good about my dig at evil.

For those who don’t know what all this is about, just check out the BBC episode about them.
