I was perusing Facebook the other day and I noticed that V'King stockage (another overstock shop like NOZ) had a "Vent de Colis Non Délivré".
This is where goods ordered online but not delivered for whatever reason - wrong address, no-one home, no such address - by DHL. I thought it might be a bit of a giggle so we popped in while we were in Loches. Everything is wrapped, all the labels are scribbled over, and there's no opening of parcels so it's a real lucky-dip. The price is 16€50 a kg.
Most of the parcels were obviously clothing or shoes, which makes it a real gamble. However, there were one or two smaller items in boxes I thought might have been electrical and worth a punt. We bought two packages which weighed 165grams and cost 2€72.
When we got home we had a grand opening of plunder. Neither of them was electrical, one being the latest super trendy face scrub (about 10€ on Amazon) and a rather natty men's leather bracelet and ring from the Netherlands (retail price 78€).
I'll be wearing the bracelet, but if any of our readers has pimples and wants to try Medián Green Tea Mask Stick, give us a shout.

This seems like the unacceptable side of internet shopping to me.
