Wow, the UPS I ordered yesterday is being delivered today. Impressive.

my new accessories for the phone are coming today too

I know people hate on amazon but it's cheaper and quicker to get delivered and I can be sure to find what I need. I don't have to pay for public transport or spend hours going to shops

I get almost everything delivered. I only physically go to a shop every couple of months, and that's mostly Bunnings to pick up bulky garden stuff.

I often find Amazon is not the best deal anymore though, and they won't deliver a lot of items to my new address. The UPS is from a Bunnings Marketplace seller, every big company seems to have a 'Marketplace' these days.

that's because they're all owned by westfarmers
