My favorite running shoes have finally reached
the point of being put out to pasture...
they're a couple of years old and long gone
at the local sporting goods store...
~
It was exciting to find, online, the possibility that
the shoe may be lingering somewhere in the corner
of a dark warehouse...I love these shoes and
always hoped they would be kept in production
exactly as they were.
~
After a little research, I was heartbroken to find
only a few specimens of the women's version even existed...
and of course, as luck would have it,
none in my size....
~
So I took the chance and ordered a pair of the
"men's" version...it appeared to be the same shoe and
the size available was the correct conversion...
So I joined the special club and got
a discount and even got free shipping!...super speedy
shipping...on the doorstep in a day!
~
I opened the box and instantly knew
my size conversions were all wrong...
the shoes
were going back.
~
Long story short...after reading the fine print
on the included invoice: return shipping isn't free...
it ends up canceling out the discount I
got for joining the club...which wasn't free either!
...my return will be good for
an exchange or store credit only...
and to top it off, I get to go stand in line
at the post office to ship my impulse
purchase back!
~
I'm sure it will all end up working out just fine...
Re-browsing through their website, I did see
a really nice high-end shoe I might be interested in
making an exchange for...
~
Maybe on my way down to the post office
I can stop by the local sporting goods store
to try them on first to make sure
they fit!!
...hmmmmm...
