Is there anything you cannot buy on Amazon?!

I have yet to find something that you cannot buy on Amazon - I needed wedges to stop my fences rattling - found on Amazon, my OH wanted a cover for a newly installed outside cable - found on Amazon and I've just been looking at 'switch bots' that turn lights off for you 😲. As long as you find the correct wording for what you are looking for - Amazon has it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Being as we have so few shops where I live....they have closed down.....I do resort to Amazon. I usually find exactly what I want...especially arts and craft items. I like the reviews left by other shoppers which helps with my choices.

That's kind of you, Dr.Watson. But too late I'm afraid. The blue paint from Amazon is apparently on the way, and the little tray and rollers which I also ordered have arrived this evening actually.
But I appreciate the thought. Elementary. 😊

I can't believe it - I called at B & Q yesterday to pick up some colour cards, when I got home I chose the paint best matched to our wallpaper but thought now I'm going to have to go all the way back to get a tester pot πŸ™„ - . just for a laugh I checked Amazon and there it was πŸ˜‚ and cheaper than B & Q so I've ordered it to be delivered today.

I was unable to get out to shop earlier in year and Amazon was my go to. It’s so convenient and with Prime, your order arrives almost immediately. It’s sad that our way of shopping has changed over the years but it seems this is how it is now. I’ve recently ventured out and, oh the excitement of wandering from shop to shop,trying things on, touching & examining the goods choosing presents from a wide selection and, spending time in a bookshop physically turning the pages. Cant beat it!
(I don’t think you can buy a house or a car on Amazon πŸ€”)
