LedZeppfan77 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I am doing alot of online shopping this year. I use Amazon and I like it because its easy and it comes right to your door. No traffic jams. The only thing that bothers me about Amazon is there is no phone number to contact them. Email I believe. I just bought my wife the Kindle Fire. With a fancy case and a charger. I have other stuff coming like luggage from Atlantic and more Amazon. My daughter has bought me the Led Zeppelin set for Xmas so I am waiting anxiously for that baby. I mean Celebration Day. I told her I wanted both the DVD and CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told her I wanted both the DVD and CD. Amazon is alright. I'd rather go to a store. Online shopping kind of takes the fun out of physically shopping. I only buy things online that I can't get anywhere near me. I love to shop but, I have to agree that malls this time of year, can be a living hell. I am actually going into the city this weekend with my parents. We're going to the 'rich' part lol (that sounds so childish) so I don't expect to stand in any lines.... Oh & the dvd/cd of Celebration Day is kick ass to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you have good luck finding your treasures I will be going to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Which is about...3 hours from OKC & about an hour & a half from my house. Traffic is always nuts in Tulsa. Especially midtown - downtown. Thanks. I hope to find bargains but, we'll see... Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Did some on line for sending to my mom and my dad. Makes it easy. The rest will be in store. I have about half of my shopping done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Fills the Air Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Most of the shops where I live are crap, and it takes forever to get to them. I also hate going out in the crowds and all the Christmas rush. I just get stressed and come home empty handed. I have ordered some things from Amazon, although now I feel bad about giving them my money after the tax evasion debacle. I'm try to use British online retailers like John Lewis and M&S. I have 90% of my Christmas shopping done. Now I just have to wrap everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get dizzy if I go into the City, wander around in a daze and can't stand crowds. I only begin to feel normal when I see the hills. I have NEVER been to the sales after Christmas either. Gog forbid Me and Mrs CP did all our shopping in John Lewis in one trip. Took about 40 mins it was great. I have bought The Lady's gifts on line as I can receive them without her knowledge. All done so all that is left is the food and wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All done so all that is left is the food and wine Maybe I do! Shopping malls, in particular, I find unbearable. Why do they have the heating turned up so much? The Christmas sales - I can never understand why anyone would queue to buy clothes discounted. Most stores now have sales on all year round.

chillumpuffer Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 OK clue. Our nearest hell in concrete is The Trafford Centre. Hilarious. They should send people there for a sentance. Can you imagine what it is like now ??? Awful shite Christmas songs on a loop. Shlepping up and down in the heat - " excuse me, sorry, uh sorry, do you have a size 12? No" A 50ft tree - I 'm starting to feel nauseuas. Oh yes I know about sales. I Only have to listen to Mrs CP. She is in retail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Walmart vs Amazon? I wonder who pulls in more? Both are huge. For clothes Macy's and Penney's are always going to be on the map. I used to like to walk the malls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I do more online shopping than ever before . Can't stand Xmas shopping in Vancouver anymore. At one time, it used to be a wonderful experience but these days, the whole spirit and celebration of Xmas seems to be missing from our downtown core. Seattle on the other hand still knows how to do it right . It's just a shame about the long border line ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb126 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Another thumbs down for in-store shopping at the holidays. In addition to all of the above, the in and out traffic and parking lots are a source of aggravation that I like to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must the nearest major shopping outlet. I've never been once. A work colleague went the other week and she said it was manic. Although apparantly John Lewis has a huge Christmas tree made out of lego which would be worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes John Lewis is in there but it's not the one we go to. Made out of lego? Crikey how long that must have took to build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Girl Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm more of an 'upscale shopper'. I like to go to Sak's & Miss Jackson's. Especially when we draw names. We have money limits but, I just ignore those. I want to give them something I would want. Plus, I work with mother's who don't get to go anywhere much so it's like I am treating them. They deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep Girl Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I wish we had a Sak's so I could check it out Sak's is a good store. Mainly designer apparel but, if you look hard, you'll find something you can't live without. I go there maybe once a year so I always splurge & get something nice for either me or a friend. And their customer service is to die for. I wish every store was like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
