Among my Amazon purchases was a 2XL sleep shirt. It came in the middle of last week and is absolutely not an 2XL by any US standard. Most 2XL are big on me; this one was too tight in the hips and bust. Amazon claimed it ran 'true to size.' I ordered bigger than normal because I find tight sleepwear unpleasant.
It's a button front, and the gaps around the buttons across my chest were two inches (I'm impressed that the buttons held). It fits Cordelia just fine, though, and she's decided that she'll take it. At first, she wasn't interested, so I was thinking I'd wear it as a weird cardigan over my short sleeved nightgowns. She's using it as a light weight bathrobe when her fluffy one is too much
I'm just glad that I waited for this to be deeply on sale.
One CD I ordered used turned out to be out of stock. I have to find the email about it so that I can put it back on my wishlist.
For another used item, I received the wrong thing. I ordered the CD/DVD set of Steve Martin and the Steepcanyon Rangers. I got a NintendoDS game (Spider-Man 3). I was deeply upset for about fifteen minutes until I ascertained that I could return it for full refund without paying shipping. Now, I'm kind of amused at the thought that whoever ordered that game opened the package to discover that they'd received bluegrass instead.
Another used CD arrived reeking of perfume. I had to hold my breath in order to be in the same room with the cardboard case. The CD itself was washable. I'll keep the case in isolation for as long as it takes, weeks or months. I wonder if it reeked of cigarettes or something beforehand. The intensity of the scent implies deliberate application rather than environmental contamination.
