When you have loved ones far away... online shopping seems like the perfect solution.  But did you get what you paid for?   Two of our producers said -- they didn't.  They paid extra for gift wrap  -- but the gifts arrived unwrapped... and with the invoice attached! So much for that Christmas surprise.  

We want to hear about your online shopping experiences  -- we might even use your post on the air!

I prefer the online experience over the in store experience. For several reasons and I'll name my top one. No rude people to deal with. Instead I get to sit at my computer, search and select my gifts without someone yammering to the top of their lungs on their cell, standing in long lines or putting up with crowds. When I do decide to go into a store, I do it later after the crowds have died down and hopefully I won't have to endure the rudeness that I mentioned above. I've have had a problem with the gift features either. But it's a different experience for everyone.

I did almost all my Christmas shopping online and had a wonderful experience with all stores that were involved... I actually saved alot of money by doing so as well as saving my sanity. I will definitely do this again next year...
