ah.... now therein lies a tale - a dreadful one that I shouldn't start telling - but , well, I'm going to! Yonks back an american penpal of mine sent me a commiseration present on hearing that my armed forces husband had been posted abroad for 2 years . . . . For some weird reason she assumed i'd be highly amused to receive through the post 'a B.O.B' (battery operated boyfriend) I would have found the funny side -- except she already knew of my frequent issues finding batteries for my cordless mouse so decided to fit 'the B.O.B' WITH working batteries before posting on to me as a surprise............... Unfortunately, the aforementioned item managed to switch itself on during its long journey across the atlantic ocean > combined with me missing parcel delivery, so that when I popped to post office with my card to collect unknown item, the guy on counter shouted out to ALL of the post office staff so they could come to counter and hand over to me - on mass - my pathetically whirring parcel

I like your style, and I too have a workaround for over-diligent other halves. Earn (if you can) some readies paid in cash direct to your sweaty mitts. Entice a vaping friend to order for you, preferably sat in your car with tandem mobiles so that you can shout out the SKU numbers and the aforementioned pal can bang in the order. Sit back and wait (that's the difficult part). When the postie arrives, it will be 10 miles away from the prying eyes, and when you see the vapemate next, there will be that familiar quite yellowy package grasped in his hand as he nods to you and passes over your ill-gotten gains. Final installment - open the package in front of him, and drool over the contents, thus encouraging him to order the same items which never fail to arrive in a third of the time you have spent waiting for your delivery. OK, it doesn't keep the posties and couriers in business, but it makes for domestic harmony and a lack of sarky comments along the lines of "so when are you going to give up that thing?" QED
