yup, my wife and I are the same, dinosaurs;), my daughters on the other hand it's all on line and the amount of stuff they send back is unbelievable, did I hear one outlet has now restricted the amount of returns??

Yes, but I can't recall who, exactly. This is to combat those that order a load of stuff, try it on, and send most of it back

Our changing shopping habits are not only damaging the high street, but also the environment.
My daughter wants a dress, but does not immediately think she need to go out shopping. She get online orders various dresses from various outlets in various sizes, they all get delivered “for free” over the next day or so by various delivery drivers. She chooses the one she wants and send the other back “for free” - madness!!
But then I am ordering stuff from Amazon that is useless or the wrong fitment, it’s so cheap I just bin it or stick it in the garage, or I could send it back for free - madness
My son once bought something for 50p, it was shipped from friggin China - he returned it “for free”
The world has gone completely mad and I am embarrassed to say my family and I are part of the problem.
I have made a promise to myself not to by any clothes online, that’s what shops are for. Also if I need some gadget, tool or thingymejig O will only buy on line if I can’t buy it locally.
Also I won’t condone my family visiting a local shop such as Curry’s to chose an appliance or tv the going online to buy it cheaper.
I hate shopping but hate the idea of a shopless high street even more.

Totally get where you are coming from. Neighbours get 3 or 4 a day (delivery) and Half the time they bring it to mine first, but I refuse to us Amazon as they avoid tax and I hate my money going to make Americans even richer.
