Online Shoppers - what are you waiting on?

Dark Phoenix

I love shopping online but hate the waiting period between buying and receiving!!

I am currently waiting on three items i've bought on ebay - the amazing spiderman opi nail varnishes and two nip and fab products im so impatient I want them now!

girl_friday

I'm waiting on some Liz Earle products that I ordered on Friday and 2 Sleek palettes that I ordered yesterday.

My favourite company to order from are Cloud10 cos their stuff invariably arrives within 48 hours... Even at that I can be impatient!! Have my postie haunted!

The Lovely Muffin

I'm not waiting on anything

A few months ago my regular postman was off so there was another guy filling in for him and after a few days he asked me if I bought everything online as I had gotten a lot of parcels.

The postman in the van used to come to us maybe twice a week with stuff for me.

I buy most of my clothes on eBay as I prefer loose fitting clothes and everything in shops these days is all fitted.

I do have my eye on a gorgeous navy and white maxi dress on eBay though. It's ending in a day or two.......

I may or may not have a parcel next week :pac:

Dark Phoenix

I've never ordered from cloud 10 must take a look

Also, a set of mini kleancolor nail polishes, 3 x china glaze polishes, a new android tablet ordered today, a case for that tablet, ordered today, a beauty box from UK.

Where did you order the NIP + FAB? They have great deals in Debenhams at the mo but the website has expensive postage - 12.95GBP

Does debenhams.com deliver to Ireland? I just looked on their website after seeing your post and couldn't find anything about delivering to ROI.

Am waiting on
Murad skin perfecting primer with free full size Murad resurgence sheer lustre moisturiser.
2 x 500ml bottles of Paul Mitchell Supersculpt
Nip+Fab No needle serum and Nip+Fab scrub

Had a great van postman before who used to put my packages in a secret hiding place when I wasn't in but now there's never the same fellow for more than a week so if I'm not in I have to go to the sorting office:( I sometimes feel embarrassed about the amount of packages that come here:o

Miaireland

I amwaiting on nothing either. Thankfully the postman who delievers to me will call back if I am not in or bring it to my workplace.

The old postman on my route was horrible, he used to give out about the amount of parcels I go ( about one a week and at that time it was work related as I worked from home). I was always in when a parcel arrived.

In the end I got annoyed and said to him that people getting post was keeping him in a job.

Pythia

I get everything delivered to work. Yesterday I received some nails varnishes that I paid for on Thursday morning, and they came from America! Very impressed with that!

I love online shopping, it's so easy and hassle free. I just don't buy jeans or similar fitted stuff online as the risk of it not fitting is high.

No more online shopping for me til July payday though! Lots of bills this month!

christmas2012

Michellenman

I'm waiting on a pair of wet look leggings and a jumper from boohoo.com and then a set of underwear and a dress from ASOS. Boohoo stuff should be here by tomorrow. Asos I only ordered today so if they're here by the end of the week I'll be pleased

Dark Phoenix

Phythia I do that too our work receptionist is lovely and doesnt mind me getting everything delivered there.

Dancing Queen I was all set to buy nip and fab stuff on debenhams.ie but found some on ebay and bought them - the eye fix was 8.99 pounds and the dark circle fix a bargain at 10 euro and 4.50 pound postage. I've not used these sellers before though so can't recommend them until my stuff arrives! the waiting is killing me I am so impatient :rolleyes:

If it's coming from the States customs could have your item(s) as any items over a certain value are liable for customs duty.

I think customs send you a letter or the postman will deliver your parcel, but you'll have to pay him the customs charge.

I got the two matte palettes - bright & dark. Haven't even had time to swatch them yet!

Lollers

I'm waiting on Perfume at the mo. Lots of places now have a click and collect option or buy online and have your purchases delivered to your local shop. I love this because in some cases delivery is free and it also saves the hassle of driving to the Post Office depot which always seems to be closed by the time I get off work. Even worse is when it has to be signed for and they leave it with a neighbour, they have left 4 different packages with my next door neighbour, it's getting embarrassing at this stage, I feel like I should be giving them some sort of commission

OakeyDokey

I'm waiting on nailpolish now and whatever else I purchase in the next hour!

Dark Phoenix

My eye fix arrived still waiting on the rest and now on some china glaze polishes I bought on eBay!

Dark Phoenix

My dark circle fix arrived. Still waiting on polishes I ordered ages ago from eBay - 24 despatch ya right!
On the plus side my boo hoo dress should arrive tomorrow it was a bargain

Seren_

Did a lot of buying on ebay this evening!!

Bought Skin79 Gold BB Cream (thanks to the review on SmokeyEyes' blog ). Been wanting one for ages, and this sounds the best for my colouring/skin type. Also bought 2 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in Black Bean and Milk for using as eyeshadow bases.

Annnnd, this is what I'm most looking forward to! China Glaze Aquadelic, been wanting it since I saw the Electropop collection preview picx in like January

Anyone else waiting on stuff at the minute?

lindtee

I'm waiting on the Skin 79 BB cream too, hoping that it is as good as I have heard!

christmas2012

slow sellers are the worst - i had my fair share on ebay,i have one perfume coming from the US apparently hasnt shown up its the theirry mulgier one womanity,she said it would be 2 weeks ago,opened a paypal dispute and everything,will have to check on it again,always follow up,get their phone number etc..

lil'bug

I just bought a load of makeup from ELF and I have 6 bids on clothes and handbags ending today so hopefully I'll win them all

TeletextPear

Just put in an order with Cara Pharmacy so have a few badly needed things coming. Rimmel blusher, two Vita Liberata eyeshadows, W7 slanted eyeshadow brush, sun cream and a few different mascaras. Trying to find a mascara that I love as much as Maybelline's Colossal Volume so no harm to try a few different ones out when they're so cheap!

Seren_

Whenever I go into Cara Pharmacy (albeit the bricks & mortar version) I always end up coming out with so much stuff! They've started selling MAC too now, which makes it even worse

I wish all the stuff I ordered would be here tomorrow >.< that's the worst thing about ordering online, the wait.

FueledByAisling

Waiting on free Elizabeth Arden products being sent out to me for reviews for a while now, ordered Sleek on Friday from the beauty Emporium so hopefully here tomorrow! Ordered Sigma brushes to my friends Aunty's house in the states who's paying a visit although said friend won't be back for 2 weeks but getting them for 60 instead of 90 is worth the wait!

I wish Superdrug's website would get the MUA undressed palette back in stock, want it so badly!

Cork I'm afraid, the nearest one to me is Limerick. I used to live about five minutes away from the Superdrug in Santry a few years ago, wish I'd known about MUA back then! Hoping to be in Dublin in the next month or so, so I'll grab the whole range then

I'm starting to get really impatient even though I only made the order on Friday morning!:p

lindtee

Still waiting on the bb cream that I ordered on 3rd July The seller had good feedback. Always a bit of a risk ordering things from asia though. Think 4 weeks is long enough to wait to make a complaint.

The Cool

Waiting on a lovely baby pink v-neck dress from Asos. But it came today, but the postman "couldn't deliver it" (open the friggin slidey porch door!!!! GRR) so i have to go pick it up at the sorting office between 8 and 3. I have to leave at 7.45 to get to work and not back til 7pm so they might as well bloody send it back to Asos :mad:

lindtee

Any Asos stuff that I have gotten needed to be signed for, so that may be why the postie couldn't leave it in the porch, The Cool.
I collected the bb cream I had been waiting for from the sorting office earlier. The guy there said, its you, Lindtee, our best customer:o I seem to be infamous with all postal workers, An post van delivery guy recently told me I was keeping him in a job with all my deliveries:o I can't resist my online bargains!
Now waiting for Monoi-Tiare-Tahiti Coconut perfume and Tropical Coconut body lotion and factor 45 sunscreen from www.iherb.com, took advantage of their free shipping over €40 offer.

Am waiting on a limited edition Glossy Box of Sundari products
