A little over two weeks ago I have written about my first-ever shopping experience with Barnes&Noble, and expressed my elation with how fast they shipped my order.

Finally, the long wait is over! I now have claimed the book in a local post office facility, which according to their records got delivered on May 28.

Now I remember when my husband, Nel, purchased me a book through Amazon, and it took over a month before I received a notice from our local post office that it’s all ready to get claimed. So I was just about to expect I’d be waiting that long for this one too, but surprisingly, it turned out quick and well.

Overall, I am impressed. And I’m surely gonna leave a nice feedback on their website because they’ve got one happy customer here

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
