My Barnes & Noble shopping experience

Fifteen minutes ago, I placed my first-ever online purchase. And I did it with Barnes&Noble!

At first, I felt naturally nervous for doing so, because having worked with an online shopping entity, I knew the usual customer complaints (e.g. fraud, delayed shipment, lost package, etc.) and I am not sure I am ready to face any potential dilemma concerning my order.

Nevertheless, I braved whatever fears I was initially having, all for the love of books…har har har.

And so I carefully filled out the order form online and reluctantly proceeded to the payment option page. Again, because I don’t want to go through any problem with my order, I made sure to review the order summary details before hitting the submit button.

Less than a minute later, I received the order confirmation email, which, by the way did, not surprise me at all. But what really surprised me is when (in less than half an hour) I received the email telling that my order is scheduled to ship.

Whoa, that fast?! Now, I can’t wait to get my book real soon.  Wooooohoooooooo
