Zappos FTW

I ordered a pair of "kicks" from them, and I just picked the free 3-5 day shipping deal. They sent me an e-mail telling me they bumped it up to Next Day Air Saver... but since I placed the order so late, it was labeled up at 2:22, and will ship tomorrow... it should get to my house on Wednesday. That's pretty baller considering I was planning on getting them in over a week from now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I guess it's for the holidays, and since they're doing hardcore advertising on TV lately, I guess they're getting a lot of customers so they're being nice or some ish. I just found it weird that they didn't advertise it on their website. They say next day on clothes, but not shoes.

But I got the last pair... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

My first time getting Globes. They're supposed to have really good grip. (I skateboard, they're not just for aesthetics.)

Yes they are nice.I want some

*nod*

I have a pair of Etnies... they were great at first. But, they deteriorated wayyy too quickly for my taste. The fabric at the tips of my shoes is like chipping off, and the actual sole is starting to separate, and they're only like 9 months old. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

zappos is FTMFW, i ordered a nice matix jacket from them with standard ground shipping on monday thinking it would come by next monday since they were located so far away. checked the tracking number the next day and it said out for delivery! They accidentally put my order for overnight shipping with no additional charge, i was very pleased.

find yourself some vans with vulcanized waffle soles and never look back. haven't skated anything but vans in 3 years (original rowleys to be exact) best pair of shoes you'll ever own

Actually, they're advertising that on their main page. All clothing has free over night until December. Haha.

IIRC, That's what they had back in '02 or some ish. I wore those things to the death, and never wanted to let 'em go. Comfortable 'til the day I threw them away.

But now the quality of their shoes is just cheap. I bought a pair and it didn't even last me 4 months of skating. I'd rather save the $40-60 bucks and just buy a pair of Converse, they'd probably last longer, too.

BTW-- the shoes got here this morning. Haha. I was so stoked, I went to put 'em on, and they were 1/2 a size too small. I was like, "Well, ****. That sucks. I have to wait like 2 weeks to get them." I called Zappos, told 'em, they were like, "Oh, I'm sorry." Verified my info, and they're like, "Well, we only have one pair left, so I'm putting the order in now. I'll upgrade it to over-night shipping so you should get it tomorrow. Just go on the website, print out the return order and try to get the other shoes back to us within two weeks."

That's customer service right there.

yeah they have been down in quality lately, sucks, a pair usually lasts me ~3 months, i don't do much jumping down huge shit or street skating anymore.

miniramps and bowls are where it's at for me.

Haha. Yeah, I just skate street every so often. Miami has a really bad skating scene... although, there is a free skatepark a few blocks down from me. It's dope. Mini ramps, rails, kicker boxes, even a nice 8 or so foot half-pipe. I tried it with a buddy of mine, but we ended up just getting our ish rocked.

Oh, haha. Maybe they did mess up? Or they're just ballers? I go with the latter.
