Christmas Shopping

A agree that a Bluepark private directory would be fab. It would be great if we could each log in to some kind of portal to maintain our own listings so that we could add special offers from time to time.

Doesn't need to be private, I expect Rich is thinking along the lines of a Bluepark Mall to showcase both merchants and Bluepark. I know other ecommerce systems do this.

I cannot believe the service offered by some of the larger online retailers.

I bought 2 items of a merchant on Amazon - 5 days delivery!
I bought 1 item off John Lewis - 5 days to despatch then 3 days to deliver! (then it was broken, no more in stock!)

If we dont get a delivery out and delivered within 2 days all hell breaks loose. How do these guys get away with appauling service?

Im about to buy a toddler harness, do any BP'ers sell them? Specifically the GoldBug Monkey one...

I have to agree with Gill, doing my online shopping at Amazon is starting to feel like I'm walking past my local green grocers to get my fruit & veg at Tesco! (does that make sense...) I've just sent my family to the lovely www.hirstandhirst.co.uk to get my xmas presents but can't think of any BP jewellery sites of the top of my head

Thanks Shelleym! I'm sitting in our shop at 6.15 on Thursday evening - it's cold and dark out there and no one wants late night shopping so it's nice to feel some love!
