You know you order too much stuff online when... You have to order in a big bin to dispose of the build up of cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, foam packaging etc  We just did that during the week. Edited by KelamyAUS, Mar 15 2013, 03:43 PM.

You know you order too much stuff online when... ... you don't remember anymore why exactly you ordered something in the first place. E.g. "Oh nice an ultra sonic distance sensor ... I certainly don't need that  "Edited by sanni, Mar 15 2013, 04:15 PM.

There are some seriously amazing (and *mostly* all-too-familiar) reasons in here... this thread has very quickly become my online-over-ordering solace! Anyways... You know you order too much stuff online when... ... you have all your eBay purchases delivered to a PO box, and because of the occasional over-flow (or signature-required) delivery, you need to wait in line to see one of the 5 clerks at the main customer service counter to get your package(s) and... ... the clerk you end up seeing already knows your (five digit) PO box before you hand him/her the package notification slip.  (I seriously think I'm gaining a pretty notorious reputation at my local Post Office.)

I'm on a big buying hiatus after my last few months of severe impulsive collecting. It's also why I'm less frequently active these days, or else I'd constantly be tempted to make more buys ! |

You know you order too much stuff online when... ...you annually get more packages in the mail than junk mail. ...you can't remember the last time you got a card or letter in the mail but you can list ten items that you've received in the past few weeks. ...you often spend an hour or two on ebay everyday just looking at what has been listed that day. ...you regularly have to take breaks from ebay (or other online sites) too keep yourself from going broke. EDIT: Didn't see the 'limit one per post' line when I originally posted, sorry bout that. Edited by Omnert, Jun 13 2013, 01:23 PM.

I just did this last night. Saw a YouTube video about good original Xbox games and immediately searched one out on eBay, found one for $3.59 and grabbed it. Smiled, felt good about it and then suddenly felt compelled to check the shelf 10 feet behind me. There was the same game sitting there, mocking me.

When you have your mail man's phone number, and he calls or texts you when he is at your apartments with packages too big to fit into the box. When you have 4 of those USPS tote things, and you actually use them almost every day to carry packages to the mail boxes. |
