I think the worst feeling about buying things online is the waiting. Looking up items can be fun, PMing can be fun, even checkout can be fun with the emails. Then comes the wait.

I have about $30 in mods that shipped Tuesday last week which should be in any day now.
I have new Sony earbuds (ATOT recommended) from Amazon which I'll get on the weekend.
I have a Canon S300 from a FS/T trade getting picked up tommorow.

Teh waiting is just nuts... especially when I don't have tracking on my mod package. :(

I have one sitting at home at my front door. Stupid DHL is supposed to leave stuff at the front office but they didn't. Now I get to sit at work and worry about it.

What I hate is the fact that I'm always at work when my packages come and they won't leave them on my doorstep. Seems like most of the stuff I order these days requires a signature. So I always have to wait for the slip (i.e. UPS infonotice) to be stuck to my door, go to the shipper's website and shcedule a pick-up at the customer counter, and then pick up my package in person the next day at the service counter.

$565 in parts for a new computer that I'm building for my little brother, ordered from newegg.

And an Arctic Cooler Rev3 (9800pro runs hot!) should be on my doorstep tomorrow, ordered from SVC.

I don't think I have anything else on it's way to me atm, but I will be ordering a new PSU (antec true power 380w to replace sparkle 400w) for my computer when I get my new desk, cause that's when I'll have the will to redo all the wiring in my case.

Set of computer speakers for the woman as an anniversary present. Was out of delivery as of this morning. Now have to stay at work late, so she'll probably get teh package instead of coming home with them all set up.

Got my new Antec Neopower PSU in just today.

Ordered a WinTV 250 from CompUSA that I'll be waiting on.

Waiting for FrozenCPU to get the Thermalright XP-120 in and then have to wait for it to ship.

Waiting on my CPU and mobo, which is especially bad, because I had to ship it to my Mom's address since its the billing address for one of my cards and they couldn't verify my new address. So, I have to wait for her to get it and then for her to bring it to me next weekend.

Waiting on a set of 500 poker chips to arrive for my brother's birthday Thursday. They didn't ship until today and they're coming UPS ground from just outside Cleveland. I'm not sure they'll make it

A couple days ago I got an order from Barnes and Noble. It was $300+ in books. They threw 15 hardcover books into a box on top of a strip of those stupid airbags with no other packaging. Of course all the airbags deflated, because they're stupid, and represent the most pathetic attempt at packaging material in the history of mankind, and because of the dearth of packaging material between all of the books they all got pretty beat up. I am not happy. I decided that rather than add more drama to my already stressed life I would just keep my now used books, and not order from B+N anymore.

What's worse.. receiving packages badly damaged, or not recieving them at all?
