92%

I'm quite the online shopper. It's no secret that if it were humanly possible, I would make every purchase I ever needed to make, online. That includes putting gas in my car.
 Amazon and I have quite the history, I always seem to find exactly what I'm looking for there - including a 112 count box of airheads. (which were gone in 2 weeks)
I've only failed one time.
  For Colb's birthday last year I found the Sandlot for $6... ChA-ChInG!
  The excitement got the best of me and I spilled the beans before the package even arrived. You can imagine my disappointment when the package arrived and it wasn't what I was sure I had ordered. It was The Sandlot, I won't deny that but in all the excitement I didn't realize the add was for VHS.
Did I mention it was mint condition and had never been opened?
A few days ago I called my sister to ask about the compression sleeves she uses for running. I had found a sweet deal through Amazon and I just knew I had to have some of my own.
The same excitement of the former good deal returned and I added a water belt in my size just to up the ol' purchase amount ($25 spent (mostly) gets you free shipping) I was giddy and anxious and this morning, the package came!
The water belt fit my waist like a charm. This felt good considering the one I used last race was tied around my waist, holding on for dear life... but I managed.
As soon as I had the belt on, I reached for the sleeves. I was sort of shocked that they both made it in the same package but that shock faded fast. I ripped open the package and pulled out the gorgeous purple color knowing it was going to change my life. Then it hit. There was only 1 sleeve.
No wonder it was such a good deal, I only ordered one. One. One. ONE.
I like to think that I'm a decent online shopper but, I only succeed about 92% of the time.
  I think it's safe to say that I've failed twice. Well 1 & 1/2.
