The "Shopping Online Can Be Fun!" Story

It was an ordinary day.  My lovely wife, who is sitting in her lounge chair closeby, is reading the latest email that she just received from a company known as 80s Tees which is a company that we ordered a T-shirt from for our youngest son for a Christmas gift.  Tad loves unusual T-shirts and we love picking out the shirts for gifts throughout the years.  This year while Carol was searching websites for shirts, she came across the 80s Tees site and began reading the many different shirts they offered.  We must have laughed at least fifteen minutes at all the slogans and logos that they offer for sale.  We narrowed it down to a shirt from the TV show "The Big Bang Theory" and one from an ad for State Farm Insurance.  We finally decided upon the TV show shirt.  Both shirts were funny, but what followed was even more hilarious.  Carol placed the order online and the next evening, while watching TV, she began laughing.  "Listen to this email I just got," she said.  Then she read it ......

CAROL, babe. What's happening? Remember that incredible order you placed with us earlier? Well, it's on its way. You might be thinking, "Wow! How on Earth did this happen so fast?" And we can't blame you for being impressed. But don't question the magic, just enjoy it.  Your order was shipped via USPS First Class Mail (2 - 8 business days).  Your tracking number is XXXXXXXXXXXX.  You can track your package all the way to your doorstep here. Easy peasy!  We can't wait to hear what you think about your new stuff. Let us know over on Facebook or write a review on our site and give everyone else a heads up.

Until next time,

Pretty funny, but today after opening her email, Carol asked me if I picked up the mail from the mailbox.  I told her "No" and asked why she wanted to know.  Then she read me the email she got today from 80s Tees which went like this ......

Hola CAROL,  The waiting is over.  Your 80s Tees order has arrived and there's a little package of radness just waiting for you to rip it open.  Thought we'd let you know just in case you have nosy neighbors snooping around with sticky fingers... or a giant thunderstorm headed your way.  We can't wait to hear what you think about your new stuff.  Let us know over on Facebook or write a review on our site and give everyone else a heads up.

Stay cool,

80sTees

These people really know how to make online Christmas shopping fun.  Hope our son enjoys his t-shirt as much as we did placing and receiving it.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
