On what planet?

The one we, if not you, live on. I just posted some clothes back to M&S
today ordered on just that basis (not shoes). They even pay the
postage.

Â*I find it incredible that anyone could find that less hassle than
simply goingÂ* back to the shop and getting an immediate refund/exchange.

In my case it's a 60 minute round trip back to the shop or a 30 minute
round trip to the Post Office.

You don't have a suitable inconvenience store closer?

https://www.parcel2go.com/ is a good source for finding one.


Interesting.

The distances are as the gulls fly and it shows Morrisons as my closest
at 0.69 miles which necessitates swimming across the River Ely to
achieve. The walking distance will be about 1.05 miles so in comparison
with the Post Office will be about 40 minutes.

Bring back C&A whose clothes always fitted me.




Still available in other countries! I bought t-shirts and shorts in C&A in
Switzerland on a trip two years ago.

I got stuff in Amsterdam and Hamburg last October.
