online shopping experience

I’ve been doing a lot of online shopping lately. It started when my husband got sick and needed to stay home for two months. During this time, I didn’t really have the liberty to go out and spend hours in the mall because I have him and our baby to take care of.

I was able to steal a few moments to myself though and some of these moments were spent shopping online. I started shopping for some clothes and shoes online. I am not new to online shopping. In fact, I bought my MacBook from Apple’s online store and I bought my Wacom tablet and a lot of books from Amazon, but buying clothes online is something I haven’t done before. To me, I still like buying clothes the traditional way. I want to be able to try them on first before I pay for them. But lately, traditional shopping is becoming more and more difficult for me, because it’s time consuming and it is just so complicated shopping with a few months old baby—I dare not leave my baby outside of the fitting cubicle while I try on some clothes.

So anyway, my first order consisted of a simple top. I was not so sure if online shopping for clothes would work for me so I started with something small. I was doubtful about whether the top I ordered will fit me or not, whether the color is really the same like it is on the online catalogue or not, and whether the quality is good or not. But it turned out great. I didn’t encounter any problem at all so a blazer, a dress, and two pairs of shoes followed the simple top. I also started buying baby stuff online because they are much cheaper.

So far, online shopping is still working for me. I know that someday I’ll encounter some problems with it too. Maybe I’ll get something that won’t fit me, or maybe I’ll be scammed. Oh well, I just have to be careful and avoid dubious sites. Reading articles such as the dealfun.com scam articles will also help me avoid being ripped off online.

Any-Network is a SCAM!

Yes, Any-network is a scam and here is why:

Hello,

I have ordered a V3 sim from you and the details are as follows:

December 1, 2008 = placed and paid my order
Decmeber 4, 2008 = i wrote a ticket and asked why the item is still not shipped.
December 5, 2008 = got a tracking number but whenever i check it, i get a \”null\” result. no info.
December 11, 2008 = the item is still not there and the tracking results are still null.

now i am wondering, did you just gave me a tracking number without actually sending the item? how come, i can’t trace it? how come that whenever i track the package, it gives me a “no info available yet..” ?

please please please answer this ticket. give me an assurance that the item i ordered is on the way.

a lot of forums and blogs are saying that your company is a scam so now i am having doubts but all the delays and your silence are not not helping anybody.

Thanks

Any-Network claims to have sim solution to unlocking the 3G iPhone. I ordered a V3 SIM from them last December when i accidentally upgraded my iphone’s baseband to 2.28.

I wrote them this email on December 11, 2009 and until now I still don’t have the V3 I ordered from them and the bad thing that is they never communicated with me as to why the item is delayed never delivered.

I also sent them an email asking for a refund but until now, I haven’t got any news from them.

So be warned about this company.

Computer Slowdown

Once my computer encountered a major slowdown. At first, I thought that the slowdown was caused by viruses that I unknowingly caught from surfing the net so I tried running my antivirus software. After the long full scan, my anti-virus software reported that my computer doesn’t have any virus infection and it is free from malicious programs so I got confused. I asked a fried about it and the advice was I should empty my temporary internet file folder because a full temp folder also causes slow down. I did that but still there was no change in my computer’s speed.

So I did a little research on my own and I learned that installing and uninstalling software can also cause computer slowdown because while doing so, your registry sometimes get errors and these little errors are the culprits for your computer’s inefficiency. I also read that there are a lot of free software that can scan windows registry for errors so what I did was to download one of them, installed it and ran it. I was so pleased because it worked.

If you are experiencing the same problem (or any other technical problem) with your computer, you should also try to do some research because most of the time, the solution is already there.
