The one we, if not you, live on. I just posted some clothes back to M&S
today ordered on just that basis (not shoes). They even pay the postage.

I find it incredible that anyone could find that less hassle than simply going
back to the shop and getting an immediate refund/exchange.


In my case it's a 60 minute round trip back to the shop or a 30 minute
round trip to the Post Office.

You don't have a suitable inconvenience store closer?

Interesting.

The distances are as the gulls fly and it shows Morrisons as my closest
at 0.69 miles which necessitates swimming across the River Ely to
achieve. The walking distance will be about 1.05 miles so in comparison
with the Post Office will be about 40 minutes.

Bring back C&A whose clothes always fitted me.

Why are you prevented from driving the 1.05 miles?

It's routed via footbridge.

I lied as according to Google maps it's 1.2 miles each way to walk and
it's also 2.0 miles to drive outbound as a right turn is prohibited and
1.4 miles inbound.

My policy is to travel on foot for such local trips unless I need too
much shopping. It's healthy.

Still available in other countries! I bought t-shirts and shorts in C&A in
Switzerland on a trip two years ago.

That would be about right.

The 60 minute round trip to the shops included walking to and from the
railway station at each end but excludes waiting time for the next train.

I'm not a person who jumps in my car at every opportunity as I regard it
a mode of travel of almost last resort, just behind buses which are a
last resort.
