Subject: [chbot] RE Ordering parts online<br>
<br>
I ordered some bits before the lockdown and they seemed to have stopped moving. One stopped in china and the other was actually delivered to Auckland 30/3. May well still arrive. I cannot see anyone actually stock piling goods.<br>
It will become too much very quickly. The only time they may, is if that firm shuts down for a period. <br>
<br>
I think keep ordering as it keeps the wheels turning, the airplanes flying and the chances of virus transmission is very small. <br>
<br>
After the toilet paper saga, I'm waiting for our bidet to arrive. Surely that is an essential item? <br>
<br>
Cheers Wallace<br>
