I would just add to the ongoing debate about teething problems in e-commerce that I am happy to spend an hour on hold to a helpdesk, send four e-mails and wait three weeks for delivery if it means I NEVER have to go shopping in Hamleys for my niece in December again.

apparently the trick is to take advantage of the 24 hour opening.


go down the pub til 11pm

go for a quick indian

hit Hamleys about 12.30am, blind drunk. 


advantages:


fewer kids, you're well prepared, and you get a lot longer to play with

the toys  before the security throw you out for being too old. 


but I'm with you: I find even fairly bad online experiences infinitely

preferable to being treated with the utter contempt that most high

street retailers practice. 


Thetrainline.com may have the user interface from hell, but it still

beats the queues at victoria.
