ILIGAN CITY – I’ve been an Amazon customer since I got my first credit card way back in 1997. Books, of course, were my first orders in my first few years of online shopping, Amazon being the first to revolutionize the selling of books, far more than what National Bookstore or Barnes and Noble could ever imagine.
But because I don’t want to wait that long again, I did what most Pinoys did at that time and even up to now – had the items bought from Amazon shipped to JohnnyAir Cargo in New York or California. Then JAC brings it to Pinas, for an additional shipping fee. It was a test if there’s truth to Amazon’s claim of free shipping. To my delight, it arrived on the 10th day, courtesy of a Ninja Van delivery guy. Ohlala!
The waiting game starts. Amazon promised a delivery of around four weeks, or after the New Year. Why so long when my earlier order of batteries arrived in just 10 days? Argh!Then comes the unboxing. Wow, safely packed with a lot of padding. Plugged it to the wall outlet, press the power button … and … the moment of truth … alarm alarm alarm! What?! A defective battery! I proceeded to set up Windows nevertheless, and succeeded.
