He dreads shopping so I dont see a lot of packages coming for him. He said earlier that he wished there were a pair of shoes that could last forever. He does go though a lot. I told him good luck with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dhs-shopping-epiphany#post-950022 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:11:21 +0000 Suz 950022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The UPS guys here just roll their eyes at the pair of us.

He has bought <b>THREE</b> raincoats this season. And sent back many more. But kept three.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-dhs-shopping-epiphany#post-950001 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:57:46 +0000 catgirl 950001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Posted on Peri's thread but thought I'd post here as well in case any of you want to try this on your own partners questioning the amount of boxes arriving at your house!</i></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><i><br /> </i><div><i></i>My DH just had an epiphany about PPP - he had to return a defective jacket to REI yesterday, and we found two possible replacements. After talking to an SA (who is an acquaintance), she convinced him to buy and take home both to test out. Which he did!&nbsp; I seized the opportunity to point out to him that THIS is why I get so many packages and return so many things - because it pays to be picky and try as many options as possible. And he GOT IT!<br /> </div></p> <p>Although now he wants to keep both jackets - HA.&nbsp; There's that too.</p>
