Third times the charm
So I wear size 14 shoes, so it can be difficult to find a good pair that are available in my size. Well, I've recently had to look for a new pair, as I've had my old pair since 2005 and they're starting to hurt my feet, as the padding around the heels has worn down so much the plastic is exposed. So just under 2 weeks ago, I went to a famous footwear & found a pair from DC shoes that I wanted. They didn't have them in my size at the store, but said they were available & could ship them to me, which is what I did.

A week later and the order tracker on their site still doesn't show my order, despite it saying it takes only 3 business days to show up. So I call ...

Third times the charm
So I wear size 14 shoes, so it can be difficult to find a good pair that are available in my size. Well, I've recently had to look for a new pair, as I've had my old pair since 2005 and they're starting to hurt my feet, as the padding around the heels has worn down so much the plastic is exposed. So just under 2 weeks ago, I went to a famous footwear & found a pair from DC shoes that I wanted. They didn't have them in my size at the store, but said they were available & could ship them to me, which is what I did.

A week later and the order tracker on their site still doesn't show my order, despite it saying it takes only 3 business days to show up. So I call them & find out that they're not sure if the shoes I ordered are available in my size at all, but they're taking a look, which is great to know, since I've already paid them. So I give them a few more days, but they still can't find any, so I told them to cancel the order & give me a refund, which they did, but since I paid by debit card, they're going to send me a check for the refund, which could take up to 15 days, fucking lovely.

So, since I don't want to deal with them again, I check out online & find a different pair of DC shoes on eastbay for about $30 less than on the DC site & they say it's available in my size, so I ordered them on tuesday night, with overnight shipping so they would arrive by today. I'm watching the order on wednesday for any updates & most of the day it says ready to be shipped, until about 4pm, when on one page it says "released to ship" but on another it says cancelled. So I call eastbay & find out that there was a discrepancy in their computer, that said they had 1 pair left in my size, when they didn't, so I cancel this order as well with a refund back to paypal.

So once that happens, I decide to just go to the source, DC's online store & order a pair of shoes in my size, requesting 1 day shipping so they'd hopefully be here tomorrow, since it was after 5 already. So this time it goes through, I got a UPS tracking number late last night saying DC gave the package to them at about 1:30 in the morning in KY and since I live just outside Chicago, they were able to get them here really quickly, it was on the truck for delivery at about 5:30 this morning & was delivered to my office at about 9:30, a day earlier than I expected. So, moral of the story, if I want any DC shoes in my size in the future, I'm ordering from them directly.
