I needed a new one. I call my IT expert: &#8220;<a title=\"My IT expert\" href=\"http:\/\/geoff.ellisons.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Geoff <\/a>&#8211; what should I get?&#8221; Geoff went to check with his geeky forums, to see what his friends use and recommend. We find the model number, and shop for the <strong>cheapest <\/strong>price on www.shopbot.com.au.<\/p>\n<p>We find the <strong>cheapest <\/strong>was at JMG Technology (<a title=\"JMG Technology\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jmgtechnology.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.jmgtechnology.com.au<\/a> ). Geoff added: &#8220;I&#8217;ve dealt with them before, if you order online before 4pm, you&#8217;ll have it delivered to you the next day&#8221;. Sounds good.<\/p>\n<p>I jump on the website, fill in a short registration form, and one thing &#8220;jumps&#8221; at me: there is a comment box, allows me to leave delivery instructions. &#8220;This is cool&#8221; I thought. I don&#8217;t come across this comment box very often&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short &#8211; on the bottom of the confirmation page, there is a little remark &#8220;shipping&#8230;..1-3 days. to speed things up just email screenshot of your online payment&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I did!<\/p>\n<p>Within minutes, I get the auto response, and a minute later, Jason emails me, asking me something about my delivery instructions.
