Ok it's nothing new, e-shopping. But when Dabs.com really make it worthwhile, you kind of realise that is wasn't such a bad invention in the first place. The theory of all such websites is that you search among thousands of products to find the one that you want, choose a way to buy them, and then they turn up on your door the next day. But realistically most web sites that you can buy products from just dont work like that. The usual outcome is that you spend ages looking for you want because the search engine just wont find it for you, and then you cant decide what colour, model ,or design to get. And then when you go to order the product it is either out of stock or unavailible. Then if you are lucky to stumble accross an availible product that you want, then you have to "register" and wait 2-3 days for a confirmation message by email. Finally you set up your credit card, usualy arriving head on with error messages. Next is the biggest joke of all, DELIVERY. You may have to pay an extra £5 for this, and usualy wait up to "28 days".
