Well, that was nice.
I ordered a new pair of shoes Friday during a short stint where I was feeling better than I had in more than a week. I need new shoes and after Lori mentioned that they'd ninja'd her refund into her account, I checked mine and voila! Samesies.
It took me a bit to decide on the shoes but I picked a pair based on a coworker who comes in floating to work and still seems to leave floating (even if everything else hurts, she says her feet are not on that list) when she leaves at night. When she mentioned she also had wide and kinda flat feet, I figured maybe her shoes would work for me too. Naturally, they're expensive and I gravitated towards whatever the older version was that they were clearancing out (I guess?) and it said 1 left in stock when I ordered and I thought nothing of it. Because I am always ordering the last one in stock. It is apparently my Zappos way.
Turns out my flu touch of bad luck has infected everything because yeah, those shoes never moved. Usually Zappos ships insanely fast and in fact, before this order I think the longest I had to wait was when I ordered on a Saturday night and that does make them take longer. But never had them sit and do nothing for days. So this morning I did the live chat and I got very nice rep who found me a new version of the shoes I ordered but I'm also getting them for free, along with a $50 credit.
Needless to say, the new shoes are more than the pair I ordered. So even if they don't wind up working for me, they're free so yay.
I'd say this makes up for being way too sick to take advantage of the AG sale last week.
In case you wondered how the flu is going: ( Ickness. ) I still do not recommend this year's flu.
