Because I have done almost no local retail shopping during quarantine (grocery store, drug store, and maybe three times anywhere else), I have ordered a few things online. Most were fine, even the ones that took a long, long, long, long time to get here.
But I was completely misled on two of those purchases. One was finally fully refunded after my complaint. The other complaint is in progress, so I shall see.
No more buying online unless I absolutely know and trust the source. Caveat emptor: Let the buyer beware, indeed.
If you are looking for rare or collectible books; or need trustworthy sources for face masks; or want to indulge your metaphysical needs/wants (books, jewelry, music, stones and crystals); or would like home-canned jellies and jams; or organically grown herbs and products made from them; as well as reputable independent book dealers; or art suppliers local to Houston who will ship to you–I can totally hook you up with contact info/websites.
