Careful Purchases
I purchase many things online out of convenience and thriftiness. Last week I was browsing, looking for an external DVD/CD drive for the kids’ laptop because they seem to have broken the internal one on their laptop. After much looking, reading, and researching (a must when you are purchasing electronics online), I finally found one that was reasonably priced and should have worked on their computer.
Well, it came and guess what…doesn’t work! Not only this, but the retailer is inaccessible – will not answer phones or emails. So…I contacted Amazon and thankfully I have recourse and protection from having purchased it through Amazon.
Moral of the story: Purchase from reputable dealers or through a website like Amazon that will enable you to recover your money in the event that something goes wrong with your transaction.
Isn’t this one cool? The message is to send someone a letter if you really want to touch someone. This one spoke to me particularly strongly, because I am a strong proponent of old-fashioned letter writing. I can appreciate the new techie twist to this old fashioned form of communication, and I liked this.
This one is for Denver Water. “Use Only What You Need”…this one particularly spoke to me also, as I believe in conservation. I also just though it plain cute!
What can I say? This one was just too cute not to include!
