This might sound a little strange but how much does it usually cost to go to Gallifrey One? I can't find the prices on the website and thought you might know.

Not at all! I can only answer from my personal experience as I’m from the UK who has travelled to Gallifrey One twice now so it may vary for you depending on your budget and where you’re from. My friend who I travelled with this year has also done a Gallifrey one guide which I will post below;

Gallifrey One tickets for next year are on sale on April 13th.

The first step is, of course, get a ticket. Even if you don’t manage it at the point of initial sale for any reason (remember the contends to sell out in 24 to 48 hours), all is not lost; the con operates a ticket transfer policy which gets going late in the year, and ends typically about a week before the con. Sellers post in the Facebook group for the event, and buyers contact them with an expression of interest. Tickets cost about £80 dependent on the exchange rate. Both times I have been, I have operated a “buy ticket now, worry about getting there later” policy. You do not need to immediately get a flight booked as soon as you get a ticket.Full-price flights can cost as much as £600-700 economy, but there are many opportunities to as much as halve this to £350-400 in airline sales, or if you have a credit card that gives you Avios (what used to be known as Air Miles), which can be used towards your flight. Air New Zealand and Aer Lingus are often the cheapest options, and people who have flown with them report good things. If you are travelling from elsewhere in the UK than London, and are an inexperienced flyer, British Airways offers a hassle-free experience of your domestic and international flight leaving from the same Heathrow terminal (Terminal 5) Remember to apply for your ESTA from the US Department of Homeland Security in good time. This is part of the Visa Waiver scheme for non-US citizens and everyone must have one that comes from a country participating in the scheme. It costs a nominal fee of about £30, and most of the airlines prompt you to do it as part of the booking process. Be aware it takes about 20 minutes to complete. They do tend to ask you some personal questions (your social media usernames). It is better to tell them everything for a hassle-free process, but this is a matter of personal choice.Hotels. The Marriott is expensive outside of the con-block rate. When the block goes online it sells out in literally seconds. Normal price for the Marriott is 230 USD a night. I have not managed to secure a room at the Marriott either time; have a backup plan, there are many excellent options a short walk away. The Crowne Plaza is only one block from the Marriott and is reasonably priced at 900 USD for 5 nights for 2 people – around £368 each. The Hilton is highly rated by con-goers next door, the Renaissance Marriott is next to the Crowne Plaza and is more basic. Cheaper options are to be had further away. Almost all hotels offer free airport transfer buses directly outside the International Terminal. Note it is not really practical to stay downtown and travel in, the subway is on the other side of the airport. There is an extension being built on the other side of the Marriott though whether it will be ready or convenient for next year I am unsure.Eating does not come cheap and you must remember that tax is not usually included in prices shown on menus, nor is a gratuity for which a minimum of 15% is the norm. A pizza in one of the hotels will cost between 17 and 20 USD before tax. If you are on a budget and have the arms and legs for it, visit Target or CVS and stock up on essentials. Eating in hotels is most expensive (though if you want to minimise your time away from the con is often a good idea), but fast food options exist close to the Marriott, with Subway, Carl’s Jnr and Denny’s all close by. Denny’s is due to be demolished soon (everyone was surprised it was still standing this year). In-n-Out Burger has several branches less than a mile away. For breakfast at Carl’s or Denny’s, reckon on about half of hotel prices (15 USD vs 30 USD)Travel around the city is remarkably cheap. A 10 USD subway travelcard will take you a long way. Hollywood with the Chinese Theatre and Walk of Fame are almost right outside Hollywood Highlands subway. Santa Monica is well worth a visit if the weather is favourable, with its iconic pier and glorious miles of clean beach. Other con matters. Autographs and photos are slightly cheaper here than the UK, often you will pay in USD what you would normally expect to pay in pounds, and even then, the very biggest guests will charge typically no more than around 40 – 45 USD. Evening receptions, where you get to have drinks with the stars rotating around tables for a couple of hours, are 95 USD. Diamond passes are around 235 USD, but are excellent value – multiple photos and autographs, often green screen, a free gift or print, and an hour-long meet and greet. Lines are not as long as in the UK and very well organised, so those wanting an auto or photo will certainly be seen. If you buy more than one Diamond Pass, you should certainly consider a Tardis Tag which was 795 USD this year, but gets you all of the big guests, plus any others that are Showmasters, rather than con-sponsored guests. Note that there are also Kaffeeklatsch (coffee morning) sessions, which last an hour, and offer a chance of talking to one of the less popular stars for an hour as part of a group of a dozen. These are free, and were done on a ballot process this year. As Simon has pointed out, your con ticket gets you so much more than a normal con. There 5 panel rooms including Program A in the main hall, and they operate all day, every day – ever wanted to learn circular Gallifreyan in a classroom? Now’s your chance. Most rooms keep going until 7p.m. and even then there are evening events taking place with quizzes, comedy sketch shows, karaoke and more until midnight in some circumstances. And of course, there is LobbyCon. The Marriott Lobby is the main socialising and hanging out area, where friends gather throughout the day, evening and into the small hours. The guests often hang out in the Lobby with each other (and if you know them from previous events, often, you), and in the evenings, the atmosphere is wonderfully friendly. Finally, ribbons. Ribbons are humorous or sometimes just direct quotes from the show, printed on fabric, with a small adhesive strip on the top. They stick to each other so you wind up with a long roll of them as you exchange them for those other people have brought with them. They are an excellent way to socialise, make new friends, and enjoy the con – there are ribbon exchange meets throughout the con, but often people also exchange ribbons in LobbyCon too. Its huge fun and I would recommend it as part of the con experience. As a guide, I paid around 100 USD for 250 ribbons this year and traded all of them by Sunday lunchtime. Ribbons Galore and PC Nametag are two of the most popular companies. Note that they charge a design setup fee, and then a unit price per ribbon. The unit price goes down as the quantity goes up, so play with the quantities a little to see how many you can get for what money – once you get up above 250 ribbons or so, you wind up getting more of the same design for free effectively. The big “but” here is delivery, which is horrendously expensive to have them shipped to the UK. If you have a kind friend in the US who will accept delivery and bring them to the con, then great, but the other alternative, is to have them shipped to your hotel, for which the hotel will charge you a nominal fee (5 – 20 USD), and pick them up from the concierge on check-in.Ticket: 80 GBPFlights: 350-400 GBPHotels: 350-400 GBPFood and subsistence: 45 USD per day (budget) 80 per day (expensive)Autos and Photos: vary on the person, say 150 USD, plus diamond passes and evening receptions for the more extravagant.Travel: 40-50 USDRibbons: 100 – 150 USDSo yes, Gally can be done for around about a thousand pounds, but a budget of 1500 GBP will make it a much more comfortable experience where you have to worry less about running out of cash. But be warned. Once you have done it, you may never want to miss it again, and you may never look at cons the same way again!

1967: Opened first location in Los Angeles County

1979: Sold Trader Joe’s to Aldi

Quirky grocery brand, amassed a cult following among health and value conscious shoppers

Experts estimate that Trader Joe’s outsells all of the competition in terms of sales per square foot. Net sales of $13.7 billion in 2019.

The fan fervor around Trader Joe’s has consumers begging for more, even starting petitions for new locations.

There are even Instagram influencers dedicated to Trader Joe’s products. In terms of overall customer service, TJ was the highest ranking national brand in Consumer Reports’ 2019 ranking of grocery chains.

Customers report high levels of satisfaction despite the fact that TJ is not necessarily convenient nor a one-stop shop. It has a limited selection of meat, produce and toiletries, no deli, no self-checkout, no online shopping/delivery service.

Knowing that one can get a larger selection elsewhere + live right next door to another major grocery store but still travel twice a month 100 blocks to shop at the busiest TJ in NYC, waited in massive lines, carried 2 heavy bags up and down 4 flights of stairs between subway and apartment (i.e. very far + troublesome).

Trader Joe’s may not be the best all-rounder grocery store, but it doesn’t try to be. The company does certain things so well, and built one of the most passionate fan bases in the grocery business.

Preposterous in that it’s the anti-grocery store - virtually no branded goods, nothing is ever going to be on sale, no coupons, no loyalty card, no self-checkout, cramped aisles, small stores with limited selection, no TV ads.

Doesn’t try to draw customers in with wide aisles or high tech shopping, does minimal marketing, doesn’t have social media presence until just a few years ago.

Presents itself as a quaint, local store - everything is hand-drawn/ hand-written, which gives the store a low-key personal feeling, that you’re in a market or local stores that is not overly commercial.

Really captures the cultural zeitgeist in a way as far as not only tapping into the foodie culture, but also the movement away from traditional and established national/global brands and overly processed/produced food. The neighbourhood market atmosphere helps shoppers feel that they’re making healthy and environmentally friendly choices.

In terms of sustainability, people have this warm, fuzzy feeling and it’s reflected in the packaging. Trader Joe’s might look like a local store, but its environmental impact is not necessarily better than other grocery chains. One of the products, naan bread, was baked and frozen in India and shipped frozen to TJ stores - crazily considering you can bake naan bread anywhere - Marketing Executive that worked at TJ as a crew member out of intrigue for a year starting 2011

TJ made efforts to be more environmentally friendly, sometimes when under public pressure. It may not operate just like a local market but the experience of being at one helps us feel better about our shopping decisions.

Unique products not found else, e.g. a particular sauce, teeny tiny avocados

Presents itself as a local store, but has worldly connections. Founder Joe Coulombe gave the store a south-seas theme, complete with Hawaiian shirt clad employees who are called captains and crew members. The theme plays upon the idea of merchants sailing the oceans to bring home diverse foods from around the world. TJ product developers travel the world seeking inspiration for these recipes (discussed in an official company podcast).

They present their products as if they are local discoveries - something someone found a certain part of the world, and they’re now bringing it to you. Result: TJ products feel specially sourced, truly unique, and like they can’t be found in other grocery stores. The products seem even more one of a kind due to a generous use of descriptive adjectives, e.g. cheddar cheese: Wisconsin farmhouse cheddar cheese, fish-shaped gummy bears: Scandinavian swimmers. Customer want to feel like they are smart shoppers - if you can make them feel like they are in the know or that they have found something that other people haven’t, then that really increases the value perception that they get from the price.

What makes TJ products seem even more special is that they come and go - regularly introduces new products and then discontinues others since the stores are relatively small and shelf space is limited.

Issue of scarcity: If I like the item, buy it now. I’m not sure it will be here next month. There’s an element of impulse shopping going on because of the treasure hunt.

There’s a sense of discovery - of things that feel rare and urgent. Find myself telling my husband everything I bought - it’s almost like I’m bragging to him, like, look what I found.

TJ stores are typically 10-15k square feet in size, carry 4k SKUs (scannable units of inventory)

Average grocery store is about 40k square feet, carry 30k SKUs

Super-centers like Walmart or Costco exceed 200k square feet, exceed 100k SKUs

Too many choices can lead to paralysis - easier to decide when choosing from smaller selection.

What customers really want is the perception of choice, but they want the experience of no conflict, of less choice, i.e. easy choosing experience. Customers also feel more confident that they chose the best of what was here. So the entire experience makes them feel both more competent as well as more confident.

Experiment: Jam sampling station at a grocery stor e - more people purchased jam when there were less options to choose from.

What TJ doesn’t want you to know is that you can’t find very similar or identical products at other grocery stores.

TJ sells more than 80% private label goods (made by third party manufacturers and sold with TJ branding). TJ is notoriously secretive, especially about who their suppliers are - that way, you don’t know where their products really come from. They don’t want their customers to feel that they have an alternative way to get the same thing.

But in some ways, they actually could. TJ sources some of its products from major manufacturers that make all kinds of familiar goods. And some of those goods under different brand names may actually be similar or identical to the private label version sold at TJ, e.g. 2017 Eater investigation found that Naked Juice, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, has provided TJ with bottled smoothies. And when you compare a couple of TJ smoothies with their Naked Juice counterparts, their ingredients are nearly identical.

But TJ can also have exclusive supplier relationships, e.g. frozen pizza from Italy made by a family in Italy, and TJ was their only customer. That is obviously not the case for most products. TJ does prefer, if possible, to tweak the recipe so they can say its completely unique to TJ.

The media expected backlash towards the idea that TJ was trying to pretend as if these products were their own. But what consumers discovered is that they could get the same product at a lower price and a better shopping environment at TJ. Biggest draws: prices

The founder JC established TJ in the 60s with a certain customer in mind - TJ is for overeducated and underpaid people, for all the classical musicians, museum curators, journalists. He created TJ to cater to the increasing number of people getting a college degree.

Perhaps, it’s for the person who

- has good taste

- like to try new things

- but doesn’t necessarily want to spend a lot of money

TJ keeps prices down by keeping costs down - sells mostly private-label goods, which are cheaper than name-brand goods like Haagen Dazs ice-cream or Starbucks coffee.

Bulk purchase: Experts say TJ is also able to negotiate better pricing from suppliers by purchasing goods in larger quantities. After all, TJ offers a smaller selection of products than traditional grocery stores and thus sells larger quantities of each item.

Also possible that TJ has help from corporate parent Aldi who could leverage its relationships with suppliers to help TJ get better pricing.

Despite all these cost-saving measures, experts say TJ isn’t necessarily cheaper than other discount grocery stores. It just feels especially cheap. Not so much the reality of a big price difference as it is the perception that you’re getting better value from TJ (higher quality ingredients, better edited selection, much more pleasant shopping experience). But not just about feeling that the products are a great value, but rather feeling that you are valued, e.g. a particular TJ store that knows you by name - TJ staff are so happy and friendly all the time, e.g. striking up conversation at cash register or when walking you to a product you’re looking for - this employee behavioural is not by accident - barely showed employee how to use cash register but spent hours acting out little play acting exercises of how you would interact with a customer. TJ prefers to hire a certain kind of person: naturally extroverted and naturally empathetic. TJ is willing to pay above industry standard for those employees - according to TJ podcast, crew members get raises twice a year, perks can also include health insurance and retirement benefits.

Scheduling of staff was a complete disaster/disorganized, basic grocery store stuff like restocking store, ordering right mix of stuff, ordering stuff that people actually want, keeping frozen/cold stuff frozen/cold - TJ is poor at that, but good at one thing: building the brand

Experts say TJ isn’t trying to be the very best grocery store - TJ is acknowledging that for most Americans, you can’t do all your shopping at TJ, you still got to go to another grocery store, e.g. sometimes don’t have the basics, or produce not as fresh. TJ meat and vegetable sections have drawn criticisms in the past for being limited or not the best quality - TJ realized that they can’t be all things to all the people, and know that customers will also shop the competition - but what will they shop TJ for? Best in class for those products?

Grocery shopping can be a chore - many would be happy to outsource to Amazon or Instacart. Technology is trending toward eliminating the grocery store shopping experience altogether. Meanwhile, TJ isn’t competing on convenience, but rather giving one a different kind of grocery shopping experience - one that motivates people to seriously inconvenience themselves in order to shop there. TJ has successful regional competition from Wegmans on the East Coast and H.E.B in the South, but many multinational grocery brands (Whole Foods, Tesco) have tried and failed to imitate the concept in the US - TJ is hard to copy because it doesn’t just have one competitive advantage. The goal of any company isn’t just to build a distinctive strategy - it’s to build a moat around their castle, to be able to defend the castle, by building a unique system of activities, interlocking choices and activities (carved out niche in cutthroat industry by: limited SKUs, private label, treasure hunt, great value, low tech, friendly workers) - a system where things fit together really well.

You can go anywhere to tick off a checklist of basic needs, but at TJ, it’s about the joy of discovering something unexpected, even if it means not checking off a few things on your list.

Light in the box reviews - Is Lightinthebox.com Trustworthy to Purchase from?

Light in the box is a worldwide shop that specializes in some principal categories: fashion, small house appliances, home decor, and various electronics products. Testing Light in the box reviews on the chinasafeimport.com/blog/light-in-the-box-reviews page, you will probably find out that it is best known for its customizable wedding ceremony clothing and evening clothing.

This store decoys potential buyers who think that they'll buy the wedding dress of their desires at a small percentage of the worth of standard retailers. Better yet, the customizable options of the online store signify they will not have to cover the cost of custom-made tailoring.

Nonetheless, for each delighted new bride who receives her beautiful white gown, there is another feedback which tells a unique history.

On relatively inexpensive products, just like for example dresses, it's not really a major issue.

But, if you're taking into account using the Light in the box store for bigger purchases, for instance home appliances or electronic devices, the Lightinthebox reviews (called as a “Lightinthebox swindle” or a “Light in the box rip-off”) on online forums would imply that you need to think twice.

On the internet they're very popular opinion portals that contain a lot of purchaser comments regarding Lightinthebox.com. Below are the websites including comments which we found:

The Trustpilot webpage

Based on 14392 comments on Trustpilot.com, Lightinthebox.com has a general score of 4 out of 5.

Approx 62 percentage of those who published reviews gave the internet retailer the full Five stars, and almost 16 percentage rated their shopping experience with 1 star.

In general, it's an overall really good final result, particularly when considering assessments on Trustpilot.com about similar internet pages, like for example AliExpress.com or Tomtop.com.

Light in the box review on ConsumerAffairs

On ConsumerAffairs, Lightinthebox has the completely different result when compared with other opinion webpages, because there're 649 comments and a general result is 1 star.

The majority of the reviews concerning the Light in the box site showed dissatisfaction with lengthy shipping time and moreover incomprehension with dimension, a lot of them came from clients who'd purchased shoes.

SiteJabber.com

Sitejabber.com's issued the Lightinthebox.com portal rates similar to those on Trustpilot.

Based on 3846 feedback collected, Light in the box wound up with a mark of 4 stars, with approx 60 percent of its feedback was graded at 5 stars.

While you will find lots of discontented buyers if you scroll any net site featuring Lightinthebox review, you’ll also see a large number of people who were extremely satisfied with their orders and the customer service.

General, almost all of the buyers who were very pleased with their transactions seemed to be buying smaller goods: various apparel, hairpieces, add-ons or small electronics products.

We have discovered that the more costly things seem to have much more poor comments, a fact that internet buyers really should take note of.

Lightinthebox hoax opinions are available on forums and discussion boards where clients post that they have never received their items. Often, those Lightinthebox reviews are made a too rapidly.

When we replied the query, “What exactly is Lightinthebox?” we debated that this retail store is situated in Beijing.

That is why the majority of its products also send from another country, and as a result shipping times are not really the swiftest. And also the processing time could be lengthy.

So How Does Shipping Work? Light in the box reviews about shipping service

A few goods process in only one day, but the others can exceed from 3 days to a whopping fifteen days before they even depart the stockroom.

A major grievance is the too long the shipment times, detailed below:

Mail Tracking Service

Products sent with this way should make it to the United States in 10-20 working days from the time that it departs the stockroom. During high season, this shipment time is extended to 15-30 working days.

Searching at a calendar, this means that it might be up to 6 weeks (counting weekends) before your wares come.

Our Lightinthebox Review Concerning Mail Expedited

Opting for this option will surely speed up the delivery procedure, reducing your wait time down to 5-8 business days. This provides it to approx an 1 week wait, even within the high season time. It is speedier.

Express Expedited Shipping

For buyers who expect their products as soon as possible, this may be the greatest delivery method to think about. With Fast Shipping, worldwide shipment is decreased to 3-5 days.

We cannot find any data about specific pricing for every single shipment solution, although the company does declare that delivery will depend both on the size of the product and furthermore the shipment time period as Lightinthebox reviews shows.

If you're considering the standard Mail Service Tracking shipping method, the longest wait is less than 9 weeks for a thing to arrive after placing an order.

It's a very long time to wait and speculate whether you're a victim of the Lightinthebox.com fraud, or whether it's a standard shipment time for a packet coming from another country.

It’s a sufficient amount of time to ask the very serious question, “Is the Lightinthebox.com portal reliable?” after awaiting too long for a potentially valuable packet and publishing unfavourable Lightinthebox review.

Before believing you’ve get cheated by a Lightinthebox.com swindle, make certain that you’ve waited all the 45 business days that your item could take to make it to your home.

Then you should get in touch with client service to find out whether they're able to provide you any sort of extra following data or data confirming the send of the bundle which shows it's coming to your home.

Summary: Is Light in the box trustworthy? Why some Lightinthebox reviews are weak?

Now that we’ve totally replied to the question, “What's Lightinthebox?” this's a moment to ask the genuine query: Is the Lightinthebox.com website secure to buy from for my daily internet shopping wants?

While ratings seem to be very favourable generally, we're here to reply if there could be a Lightinthebox.com swindle.

Shopping on Light in the box is a superb way to get price cut on a tailor made dress or in order to get some items you want in bulk.

In general, is the Lightinthebox.com portal reliable? It uses lots of secure payment options that demonstrate that it isn’t a hoax online site.

The Light in the box reviews indicate that you want to buy a couple of cheaper things at first to test if you’re satisfied with the customer service and shipment times earlier than you are begining to buy larger wares.

Light in the box reviews - Is Lightinthebox Safe to Order from?

On not too expensive wares, for instance garments, this may not be really a worry.

Nonetheless, for those who are thinking about utilizing the Lightinthebox.com shop for larger orders, for instance such as appliances or gadgets, the Lightinthebox reviews (known as the “Lightinthebox swindle” or a “Lightinthebox.com rip off”) on discussion forums would imply you must think twice.

On the web they are popular review webpages which have a ton of customer opinions regarding the Light in the box site. These are the portals with the reviews that we found:

While you'll find lots of angry people when you scroll any site presenting Lightinthebox review, you will also see a large number of buyers who are absolutely satisfied with their products and the customer service.

Generally speaking, the majority of the buyers who were very happy with their deals seemed to be purchasing smaller products: various kinds of apparel, wigs, fashion accessories or small gadgets.

We have observed that the more expensive things have a lot more negative opinions, a fact that internet buyers really should take into consideration.

Lightinthebox.com scam opinions are available on forums and message boards where buyers write that they've never gotten their items. In some cases, those Lightinthebox reviews are posted too swiftly.

When we replied the query, “What is Lightinthebox.com?” we discussed that this shop is located in Beijing.

This is the reason that a lot of its items also deliver from another country, and shipment times are not really the fastest. Also the processing time could be lengthy.

How Does Shipment Work? Light in the box reviews about shipping service

A few wares process in only a day, but the rest may exceed from 3 days to a more than 15 days before they even leave the magazine.

A main issue is the too long the shipping time, described below:

Postal Service-Tracking

Things delivered by this way should make it to the Usa in 10-20 working days from the time that it leaves the warehouse. At the time of the peak season, the shipping time is lengthened to 15-30 working days.

Searching at a calendar, that means that it could be about 6 weeks (counting the weekends) before your wares arrive.

Our own Lightinthebox Review About Postal Fast

Selecting this method will unquestionably speed up the delivery procedure, reducing your wait time down to 5-8 days. It delivers it to about an 1 week wait, even in the peak season time. It's always quicker.

Express Quick Delivery

For buyers who expect their wares as soon as possible, it can be the most excellent delivery choice to take into consideration. With Fast Shipment, international shipment is cut down to 3-5 days.

We could not find any information about specified prices for each delivery option, although the store does state that shipping will depend both on the weight of the product and moreover the shipping period of time as Lightinthebox reviews shows.

When you're thinking of the universal Mail Service Tracking delivery method, the longest wait is no more than 9 weeks for a thing to arrive after placing your order.

It's a long period of time to await and wonder whether you’ve become a sufferer of the Lightinthebox.com fraud, or whether it's simply a standard shipment time for a package received from overseas.

It is the right amount of time to ask the difficult query, “Is the Light in the box shop reliable?” after waiting that long for a really not cheap bundle and posting poor Lightinthebox review.

Earlier than believing you’ve fallen prey to a Lightinthebox rip-off, double check that you’ve awaited the complete forty-five days that your item may need to make it to your home.

Then you should get in touch with customer service to ascertain if they can deliver you any sort of extra following details or data confirming the dispatch for your bundle that proves that it is on its way to you.

Summary: Is Lightinthebox reliable? Why some Lightinthebox reviews are nasty?

Now that we’ve extensively replied to the query, “What exactly is the Lightinthebox store?” it is the time to ask the important query: Is Lightinthebox secure to order from for my everyday shopping online wants?

Despite the fact that reviews seem to be favourable overall, we are on this blog to reply if there could be a Light in the box hoax.

Purchasing on Lightinthebox.com is an excellent method to get price cut on a tailor made dress or in order to purchase various wares which you want in bulk.

Overall, is Lightinthebox.com safe? It utilizes lots of safe payment possible choices which suggest that it is not a rip-off site.

Light in the box reviews indicate that you might want to try a couple of low cost wares first to inspect if you are really pleased with the shopper service and shipping times earlier than you're starting to buy more expensive things.

Amazon Prime: Is convenience worth it?

Vivian’s Dilemma:

Last week, it started to feel like Spring in the fine city of Irvine. The sun came out, the sky started to shine, and so did my armpits. Just my luck, this was the week I also ran out of deodorant! As a freshman student living in the dorms without a car, I found myself in quite the “sticky situation”. I had two choices:

A: Uber to target, my favorite store to buy necessity goods.

B: Order from Amazon Prime with free shipping and fast delivery.

Both places would sell me the same exact good, but the costs would vary.

My decision was easy: order with Amazon Prime and receive my package within 2 days with free shipping. In the moment, I didn’t even think twice about ordering online. It turns out that the price at Target was actually higher! So, If i had chose the Target route, I would be paying for both the uber ride (to and from Target) and for the actual good itself.

Amazon’s Price:

Target’s Price:

However, Amazon prime is not a free service. My parents allow me to use their Prime Account to order, so for I am only paying for the good and not the service fees when I order.

After I solved my problem, I started to think about how Amazon affects students here at UCI. Amazon Prime offers a student price of $49/year ($99 for non-students) which is a major incentive for students to use their services. Another major incentive is the strategically placed Amazon lockers in many of the housing communities, both on and off campus. My housing community, Mesa Court, has its own amazon locker. In fact, it is right outside of my building. It is almost asking students to utilize it. Another idea is that because necessity goods, such as deodorant or other toiletries, are inelastic, students will be willing to buy them from Amazon prime even if they are not cheaper, because it is convenient. For necessity goods, Amazon Prime is the most convenient and reliable source for well priced goods for students living on campus.

Samantha’s Dilemma:

Whenever I get stressed, I am more inclined to buy stuff, particularly online. Having a roommate who is also very inclined shop online, we often convince each other to buy our guilty pleasure, makeup. Being first years with no job and no car, we often look online and try to find the best prices for makeup. Going on makeup store websites such as Sephora and Ulta and comparing them to Amazon makeup prices can be drastically different, showing the elasticity of luxury goods. Sephora and Ulta have a set spending price in order to get free shipping, but Amazon on the other hand, does not with Amazon Prime. So, usually we are set with two options:

Spend $50 on makeup that is individually at a low price, but overall we are spending more.

Spend less than $50 on makeup and not pay for shipping, but have to pay more for each individual make up product. However, we are still paying for shipping technically through Amazon Prime, which is $50 per year for students.

We usually choose option A, and spend more on a makeup website to get the free shipping as we feel it is more worth for our buck.

If I were to look at the makeup foundation I’ve been looking at buying on both Sephora and Amazon, I would be in a bit of situation. On Sephora, it is $40, just $10 away from free shipping, but still only having to pay around $5 for shipping. On Amazon, they don’t even have my correct shade (since foundation is for your all over face, it’s important that it matches the actual color of your skin tone), but if I was to look past that, it’s still $61.05 for the same bottle. This bottle does not even qualify for Amazon Prime, so I would have to pay $54.60 + $6.45 shipping. It’s only obvious which one is more worth the money.

Sephora’s price:

Amazon’s price:

In terms of luxury goods, the price elasticity is elastic and not worth it for Amazon. I would rather buy off of makeup websites like Sephora and Ulta than Amazon despite how convenient it may seem to be.

Yashica-8 Yashica 8 8mm Cine Film Camera - Tested & Working #S8-2255

Inspection report

Lens - clean, free of mould, dust, haze or damage

Focus - smooth, works well

Motor - runs well

Exposure - working well

Body - in good condition, some light scratching

Other features - all tested and working well.

Additional accessories included: None

Product specification

The Yashica 8 is a typical home movie camera of the time. Feature wise it is basic but it is well built with a die cast aluminium body and good quality for its positioning. It uses standard 8, also known as double 8, cine film. This is 16 mm cine film with twice as many sprocket holes down either side as “normal” 16 mm for use in 16 mm cameras. Only half the width of the film is exposed when run through the camera. The length of film is about 25 feet and when the end is reached, the camera is opened and the film spools flipped top to bottom and then the other half width of film can be used. After processing, the film is split and spliced together giving a total length of about 50 feet, or about 4 minutes of viewing time.

As common at the time, the Yashica 8 was powered by a spring driven clockwork motor. With a fully wound spring, running time was about 30 seconds. The normal shooting frame rate was 16 frames per second but the camera was capable of a number of frame rates from 8 to 64 frames per second. The viewfinder could zoom from a wide angle of 6.5 mm to telephoto length of 38 mm to match the lens in use - the normal length for the format was 13 mm.

The release date of the Yashica 8 movie camera is quoted as either 1957 (Camera-wiki.org) or claimed to be 1958 at Photokina in Germany. As far as I can tell, both dates are perhaps correct, depending on perspective. From my research, Yashica did release the “Yashica 8” in 1957 but probably only in Japan. There is a range of serial numbers in my database which almost certainly pre-date “date code” numbers which so far start in February 1958 but in any case, the company's 1975 booklet, “Yashica A New Horizon”, tells us that it was September 1957 (the booklet says 8T-2 but from Yashica's own brochures from the time, it is clearly an error, it was the “Yashica 8”, the 8T-2 being a 1958 release). It had a turret lens mount, and possibly because of the booklet, many commentators today already refer to it as the “Yashica 8T” but in fact, that name came later with the updated model further below. It came standard with one lens fitted, a Zunow 13mm f/1.9. Both Zunow 38mm f/1.9 and 6.5mm f/1.9 lenses were supplied by Yashica as optional accessories. Below are left and right side views. Note the film door latch, viewfinder moulding, sliding switch on the side of the viewfinder, shutter release pad on front, shutter lock thumb wheel and turret pivot detailing, all of which are different to models commonly found in the west:
