12/2 The Internet Sucks. I want to give my friend A CD, via one of the
online sites. None of the ones I've looked at allow me to do this,
instead they allow me to give him a gift certificate of a specified
amount, which I find low class. I could just flip him a $20 if I
wanted to. I'm not worried he'll spend too much of my money, and if
he did somehow do so, I wouldn't make the same mistake twice. This
doesn't seem too difficult, now does it?! Any suggestions? -- Marco
\_ why don't you just give him a blank check?
\_ uh, amazon allows you to send someone a gift. -tom
\_ pretty much any online site will let you buy something
and have it shipped to a different address, but I don't
think that's what he wants.
\_ Obviously. I want the site to support his choosing the
CD, but the charge goes to my credit card. -- Marco
\_ Internet sucks? How many brick-and-mortar places
allow you to do that? And that's even f2f. Sheesh.
Go and try that at Raspukins.
Amazon allows your friend to set up a wish list
so you can click on it to charge to your CC.
Makes buying, shipping and potential returns easier.
\_ WWW != Internet.
\_ I didn't say anything about the WWW. Is there any Internet
service that will do what I want? -- Marco
\_ e-mail him, ask him what he wants, buy it, ship it to his
address. |
