When I order something online I build in at least a few days if not a few weeks for shipping. Sometimes the wait is just forever…or so it seems. I am always impressed when it comes sooner than I anticipate.

Netrition.com is really good – only one or two days. Pretty good. They are a handy source for nutritional supplements. But today I was really wowed. Yesterday afternoon around 4, I placed an order from endless.com. They  are connected with Amazon.com and sell shoes, purses and like items.The package was on my front porch today…less than 24 hours! They must have a distribution center in my back yard! Fantastic service!

With the holidays getting closer and closer, I’m sure everyone is trying to finish up their shopping. I have trouble shopping for various people on my list and every year I end up at this one site to help me find the perfect gifts for some of them.  It’s a great place to shop for the geek who has everything.

The guys and gals at Think Geek have great T-shirts, toys, odd gadgets, books and a vast selection of caffeinated products to name some of their offerings.  They offer both an on-line catalog and a paper catalog (that the family fights over when it arrives in the mail).  I’ve gotten Star Wars Themed Mr. Potato Heads, the caffeine candy sampler pack and the Utili-Key 6-in-1 Tool (Hubby loves it) to name a few items.

The folks at Think Geek are offering free Fed Ex Ground shipping (for the lower 48 states0 for orders over $40 until 10 December 2008.  I for one am not planning on paying for any shipping this year and will be placing my order for geeky goodies soon.
