Ordering a pizza in Kilkenny just got a whole lot easier. On Friday (and again on Saturday) I tried the new online ordering system from ExtremePizza.com, the US-based pizza company, Kilkenny being the first Irish franchise location. The flier in the door suggested online ordering was available so I clicked on over to the website…

A Helpful Bunch At Turnkey
If your first shopping experience with a new company is a good one, in my case, it’s enough to bring me back for more. Such was the case yesterday with Turnkey, one of the leading European music technology suppliers. With a Digidesign Mbox 2 sitting in my cart on Thomann (Germany) since Thursday, yesterday was…
First Purchase From AllPosters.com, Satisfied
Just before the weekend I ordered a few ‘door posters’ from AllPosters.com and I genuinely forgot I had ordered them. There was money sitting in my PayPal account, enough to cover the investment, so I placed the order and arrived home yesterday to find a note from An Post – failed delivery, collect tomorrow, foreign…
Don’t Wait Around For Online Flights
If you see a decent price for a seat on a plane online, don’t wait around to make up your mind!! Just booked flights to Amsterdam for myself and my brother, his girlfriend and a friend and, by my reckoning, because we waited until after just after midnight to make the booking, having started looking…
The Mighty Mouse Arrives
Having ordered from Apple earlier in the week, my lovely ‘mighty mouse’ arrived today (post scheduled for the photo blog later). A pure gem. Been after a mouse for the laptop for ages and grabbed one from the Apple Store this week. Order went through on Monday, text message confirmation of shipping on Tuesday from…
Apple’s Address Verification
I’ll give thumbs up today to Apple’s address verification in the Apple Store. I made my first purchase today from the store, picking up a new Apple mouse for the MacBook Pro. Why do I give thumbs up? Well, when I put the office address down as the shipping address, they said they couldn’t verify…
Online Duty-Free Scrapped
RTE report this afternoon that proposed plans to allow the online sales of duty-free cigarettes and alcohol have been scrapped by the European Court of Justice. It would have been seen as a golden opportunity for Irish online shoppers (who would be smokers and drinkers) seen as the price of above items in Ireland is…
Site Helps You To ‘Regift’
What, you might ask, is regifting? Regifting, according to Wikipedia is “the act of taking a gift that has been received and giving it to somebody else in the guise of a new gift.” Many times has it been the subject of humour in TV and film (like Seinfeld, which I’ve finally started watching and…
Delaying Your Online Shopping
Just wondering, is there anywhere online that allows you to schedule when you would like an item to be shipped and charged for? I do an awful lot of shopping for musical equipment on Thomann which purchase invoices going to break silly figures after Christmas but they’ve recently improved their online customer centre and added…
Paying Bills Online Made Too Easy
Last week I switched over to a postpay option through O2, picking myself up a Sony Ericsson K800 (very snazzy I might add, nice little RSS reader built in) but when I logged into the O2 site this morning I saw my bill had arrived already. Now, I’ve only had the phone around a week…
