To Buy or Not to Buy.

MAIL ORDER MANIA.
For 12 months of the year we will receive catalogues from various

companies - but mostly fashion catalogues.

But since the middle of August I will find a chunky catalogue

almost daily in my letterbox.

There are people who can't get out and about or who cannot

leave their homes for one or the other reason.

There are people who only use catalogues when they're

shopping for someone else.

If you know what the person wants from the catalogue or you've

received a large as life hint , that's also fine.

On a few accassions I have 'phoned the company and placed

an order, and when I received the package, I was lucky to find

the contents to be a perfect fit.

But I've also been unfortunate to receive ordered goods only to

find it's either too small or too large or the garment was created

for one of the top models of our time.

The disappointment is shattering, because waiting for the lovelies to

arrive on your doorstep will take from 7 to 14 days (sometimes

even longer) and

to top it all, it won't fit to perfection !

To boost my disappointment I have to parcel it together and pay a

juicy return postage to get it safe and soundly back to the company.

What could be nicer than being in the clothing store to chose and

browze for the garment that fits you as it should - with no extra

cost involved ?

Mail order shopping can't replace the thrill of going on a shopping

spree - even if it means just feasting your eyes on all the beautiful

handbags and gladrags !
