How do you do online shopping when you're on the road full-time?

Bit of a diversion from the regular diary, but I thought this might be helpful if you're considering travelling, or even if you're not you may have wondered about this.

Online shopping's great, but how do you manage it if you don't have a house to have your stuff shipped to? I touched on this some months ago but since then we've used it a lot more so can offer some more insight.

We've used two systems mainly:

  1. Australia Post Parcel Collect or Parcel Lockers
  2. Click 'n' Collect (eBay)

1. Australia Post Parcel Collect or Parcel Lockers 

Inside our MyPost account, showing some of the
addresses we've used on our trip and the
options for creating new ones
This is our most common method. You simply set up a MyPost account with Australia Post (https://auspost.com.au/mypost/address/alternatives) and you then have the option to create any number of 'Parcel Collect' or 'Parcel Locker' addresses.

Day 22 - Lorne to Inverleigh

We made an early departure from our unofficial camp ground - we got up at 6am and were on our way by 6:40 without a hitch. We headed down to the beach for breakfast and got there just on sunrise. It might have been an unusually early start for us, but the sunrise made it worth it!
