Experiences with online shopping? - Here's my new builders clothes with pictures

I'm sure lots of tradesmen think the number of trouser pockets denotes their skill level, the more pockets they have, the more skilled they are. To55ers.

Mine was a cookbook, The Burmese Kitchen, for 13.95 in 2000.

My first Amazon purchase in 2013 was a pair of Aigle wellies, an Aigle welly bag, a boot pull and some cleaner for them.

I can get 3 pairs of Dickies trousers for the price of a pair of Snickers ones, paint/grease/muck are still paint/grease/muck and it can ruin any of them so I prefer the cheaper ones - they last the same for me.

If only the kneepads were a little higher up.

I got 2 x padded builders jackets that are Dickes from Wickes and am happy with them.

Well to be fair I am your average Joe - I'm trying to learn how to be a project manager of sorts with the idea to do up a few small houses this year once I've my current project finished which is currently going in fits and starts

Don't listen to them.... your an average Jim and dont you forget it.

I'm of the same opinion. But they let themselves down.

On a couple of occasions they have am item on sale. I pushed , I tipped and turned em upside down.

Yes lovely I'll have one please.

Sorry we don't have it in stock you need to order online........ that's nut I say.

If I go on line I may find a better deal on Amazon. A shrug and a face pull I end up getting elsewhere.

Been there, done that and got the T-Shirt!
They won't even sell you the display model, even if you say you will pay full price for it. 2 weeks ago my wife surprised me by buying me a laptop from Currys. This is a rough idea of the phone conversation my wife had with them.

"I'd like to buy XXXXXXX as advertised on your website, do you have one in stock?"
"No not got one but if you order on line we can have it delivered to the shop for you to collect. You need to pay up front first though."
"When will it be delivered?"
"We are not sure when the next delivery is due."
"So you are expecting a delivery of them then?"
"Not unless someone orders one."
"So, I have to order one before you get a delivery of one? If I do order one will you be able to tell me when it will be delivered to your shop?"
"We won't know that until you order one."
"Well if I order it today will it be delivered tomorrow, next week, next month or next year?"
"We won't know that until you order one, madam."
"So you have a shop that sells computers but you don't have a particular advertised one in stock. I have to pay up front and order one and you won't know when it is coming in until I do so. This means you may have my money in your account for an unknown length of time for something I need now. Correct?"
"Well I don't think it will be as long as next month."
"It can be as long as you like, I'm going somewhere else. Goodbye."
