Out of Stock / myLot

I was looking for a table top drinking water dispenser for almost a week but I wasn’t able to find the one that I want. It did not cross to my mind to purchase it online because the shipping fee is an added expense. Yesterday, I dropped at one shop where those items were usually seen but no stock yet. I went to other shop and there’s few display at different design. Today’s morning, I went back to the store which it was available and made my purchase. When I dropped this afternoon at the first shop of my choice to buy some hardware, I noticed that they already have plenty of stocks displayed. Better than the one I bought at lesser price.

Life can sometimes be playful to us.

I too have similar experiences. However, I prefer to be happy with what I bought.

I have no choice. It's already there. This is the tendency of not waiting a little more time.

so true. sometimes you chance on a bargain/sale, sometimes it's just wrong timing.

You are right on your observation about wrong timing.

Its frustrating when I go to the grocery store, and they are out of stock of things. I really like to use the green Palmolive dish soap because it works the best, but of course they were out of it last time. And I like to give my cat a certain kind of cat food, other kinds can make him gassy ( its disgusting but yes cats fart too

) but they were out of that one last time too so now I have a gassy cat too haha.

That's the problem especially if it is not available also in other shops.

@ZedSmart Here we can ask for a full refund if we judge that the article we bought does not satisfy us. We have 8 days to bring back anything and get a refund, it's the law.

Returning an item means a placement only and not a refund Ms. Anna.

@LadyDuck I experience that with online purchase that they refunded my purchase because it's not the item that I want and they do not have the stock but sent me same brand but different design.

That must be very frustrating when you saw better stocks than the one you bought and that too at a lower price.

Yes and it's too late because you already decided and bought the other item that was not your first choice.

I have had that happen before too. Not the lower price, but seeing stuff in the store after I already something. I had for a long time was looking for loafers in my shoe size. None of the local stores had them. I decided to get some from Amazon.com and a few weeks after I got them, I found out some of my local stores had some in my size.
