Have you ever ordered (or in this particular case pre-ordered) something online and just sit on pins and needles waiting for it to come in? I ordered this four months ago and it is supposed to come in today (Finally!!!) so I keep looking out my window waiting for the truck to appear and bring me my item. I got the Disney's Tangled DVD with a set of 4 Lithographs...I am so excited! I wanted it yesterday when it came out but the Lithographs should be worth the wait and few extra dollars (shipping). What about you? Whats the item or items you just sat at the window waiting for?

My last camera!
I bought it used, and the bloke I bought it off sent it at once but then the post managed to make a mess of it so it took days for it to arrive. Not months, but my other camera was broken and without a camera I feel very lonely and frustrated so the days felt like years.
I bought the camera I have now in a shop, but not only so I didn't have to wait for it :-)

I am more cautious with electronics - you never know what can happen with those things. Trucks, people, weather...so many accidents that can happen!! But I would be miserable without my camera so I am happy for you that you have one now!! :D

The post here is fairly reliable, but I had it sent in that way I can't remember the name of in English. So you have to sign it out when you pick it up, with ID, and pay for it there. 'Cause that means it is insured, and if you open it while the postman/woman looks at, you have a witness in case someone sent you something else than what you paid for. It costs about 20 dollars I think, but it's worth it for both seller and buyer on more expensieve items.
I've just taken pictures of my brothers baby with my new camera, camera and baby about equally new but camera much more wellbehaved. And it doesn't drool! :-)

I am not really into online shopping nowadays but the only thing that kept me waiting was due to my old MP4. It has to be shipped to, but it was like kinda not on the right timing because a storm caused its delay. I have to wait for 5 more days to be delivered. Unfortunately, i did not suffer waiting because the seller provided me extra credit for it. Way cool!

I am forever waiting with no patience for all the things that i have ordered online.I get so fed up when it says will arrive in 5 working days and it ends up being twice that amount.I am worse than children waiting for things to be delivered.Clothes are the things that i get friends and that it a waiting game all the time.

I'm sorry you have to wait so long. All of mine come on time, I just get impatient. Lol. Good luck in your future online shopping endeavors.

Well, I am almost like a kid in a candy store when I know I have something coming UPS. Especially when it is the Jerky that I do as an online/offline business. Always wanting to make sure I get what I ordered, and excited because that usually means having enough in stock so that I can earn some extra $$ from it as well.
