tracking packages is a whole new job
Online shopping is a wonderful thing. What's better than pressing a SUBMIT button on a site, where your order will appear on the site's database, which will then be forwarded to the fulfillment center where your cool stuff will be put together, packed in a box, weighed and stickered and picked up by the UPS or FedEx guy/girl and you can track all that activity rather than standing in a check out line with some old lady constantly bumping into your back because she thinks it'll make the line go faster if she's on your ass.Personal space. First in line. I'm ready when you are. Go back and browse. Wish List. No shopping carts, no shopping bags to lug around. Not having to deal with the rheotrical "How are you doing today?" are the ultimate payoffs for shopping on your butt rather than being poked in it. It makes it easier for crowd-o-phobics like me, and of course there's nothing more exciting than tracking your package on UPS or FedEx (well, of course there is, but all of you who've tracked packages must admit it's pretty exciting); it's great to watch where your packages are coming from and think how ridiculous it is that before reaching Las Vegas, a package must first go to Ceritos, CA even though the package is coming from east of Nevada. I love it when interrelational databases comes together and it relates directly to shopping.
