Parcels

Many inches of newsprint and many reports on the broadcast news have been dedicated to scaring the public regarding their online purchases not arriving in time for Christmas. The Online retailers are overloaded, the parcel companies are overloaded, there is a huge backlog... and so forth.

So it was, with a degree of surprise, the Gorse Fox answered the door three times today to deliveries of online purchases - none of which was even scheduled for delivery before tomorrow. Now he doesn't advocate leaving things too late, but suggests taking notice of the delivery projections when shopping online.

He notices that his first purchase from Amazon in the UK was in 1998, so GF has been at it for quite a while; he does think, however, that he had purchased from Amazon US even earlier.
