Your not alone Everything I purchase expensive or cheap Always arrives either damaged - parts missing or the wrong item! bad luck in that case seems to follow me around, and mostly to no fault of my own “Honesty” But I do have a habit of not reading things properly before I buy them.

I don’t know about you but I ordered some roloc adapters which came from China and found myself disinfecting the plastic packaging with the Misses Detox worktop spray because of the Corona Virus

One thing I wish I knew more about is electronics but haven’t done enough of it to learn anything, basic House wiring is easy but automotive etc seems to be a minefield. Believe it or not my late uncle was high up in BA & was a Chief Engineer of Concord, long before it had the troubles I hasten to add, I wish I had his knowledge of electronic his loft was full of testing equipment that wouldn’t look out of place in the space station.
