Or, to give them a more personal title: "Yet another excellent way to waste time and money"
If you're one of those people who has the time and mental acuity to go physically to a shop, try on the item you like - and then wait for the sales, you have my respect. I buy random things online because the photo looks nice and IT'S HALF PRICE, and then spend the best part of a week going to post offices, filling in forms and feeling disappointed. But there's something exciting about the whole process. Because after all, if it doesn't all go horribly wrong, if I don't end up looking like a sack of potatoes in an ill-fitting case, then maybe the opposite is true. Maybe I'll have bought something in the sale that looks good - and IT WAS HALF PRICE! I think it's a risk worth running. And at the end of the day, we need to use our post offices, or they'll be closed down.
