i do tend to order the vast majority of things online these days I have to admit.
Last Monday I called a local shop however as I recall they often have a good selection of more unusual things.... Im after a pair of acavallo opera stirrups. Id seen them online for a good price and quick 2 day delivery. The lady in the shop said no they didnt have any in but chatted away to me for ages , really interested in why I was after them and what advantages they have etc. Then she said she could get them for a really good price (£5 cheaper than online) and they would be there in 2 - 3 days so if I ordered today (Mon) Id have them for Wed. I drew breath to say no its ok.. then thought aww come on, support your local shop CA and she’s been so nice.. so I said ok, order them in for me. We are now on the following Wed - so 10 days and they arent here When I called she said oh I didnt actually get round to putting the order in for a few days as we had more things to add to it. then when it arrived the stirrups werent in the box. Arrrgh And this, sadly, is why I order online these days
