Deliveries
I haven't had much to order lately, but some stuff has been arriving nonetheless. Yesterday, I had three deliveries:
1) Swiss Army Knife from SAB
2) Phone Cord Coupler from Buy.com
3) Eureka Vacuum from Amazon.com
1) I was interested to see that they made some slight modifications to the design of the knife, in particular to the pliers. There is now a tab on one side that slides into a notch in the other, probably to help prevent the problem I had with mine.
2) Surprisingly, Buy.com did come through with their claim that the item would in fact ship, but they have yet to charge me the $0.99 they are due for the coupler.
3) I realized I never posted about the vacuum I ordered. It was the Eureka 7686BH Boss Upright Vacuum with Bonus Eureka 56 Handvac (included in the box). Though the vacuum retails for $120, Amazon normally sells it for $59.99. It was reduced during Amazon's 3/12/04 Friday Sale to $39.99. I threw in a $10 GC that I had, and the final price for both vacuums was $29.99. After easily assembling it, I gave it a quick trial run yesterday, and it did a satisfactory job.
The 56 Handvac is like a corded dustbuster. Though I haven't yet given it a try, it looks like it'll be useful for small jobs.
Today, I received my re-shipped phone from NewEgg.com. This time it looks like the box has not been opened yet. :)
