I bought a pair of white strapped shoes from ebay a few months ago. They seemed awesome until I had to wear them..they hurt so darn bad! it seriously felt like my big and pinky toes were being slowly cut off every time I had to sit through church....ARGH!!!!! It's not worth it!
I gave up and searched fro a new pair. A about a month ago, I found a cute pair on Payless.com. They were reasonably priced, an ivory color and had cute flowers on the vamp.
I tried to buy them , but the payless shipping page refused our weird Mailbox address. I retried it several different times, trying outsmart the system by putting numbers ahead of letters, but nope. No go......grr! I sent an email to customer service. They emailed saying they couldn't ship outside the country...idiots! I wrote back saying I had a Miami PO Box (which they would have known if they had actually read my entire initial email)...they wrote back by saying I would have to call their 1-800 number....grrrr!
So, I gave up on that, and begged my mom to find the nearest Payless, get me a pair and mail them here. She did, and after a couple weeks, the shoes arrived. I was so happy until I saw them. The flowers weren't two different sizes: one was long and skinny, the other was smaller, rounder, and puckered up a LOT.......Gosh dang it!!!!
The next day,Robert used the free school phone, and called their customer service number. He was told he needed the receipt in order to get a 15% discount and return the shoes. He came back home,got the receipt, called back, and after lots of fussing by a rather inept employee, was told that they COULD NOT ship them to us because their computer system refused our unusual address...KILL! What good is customer service if they seriously are incapable of mailing shoes to a PO Box??????
Plus we would have to find the nearest payless if we wanted to return them..yeah, that was another dumb thing for them to say.
After stewing on what to do about these shoes, I gave up and told me mom the situation. I really didn't want to bother her about it, but she actually agreed to go find another pair that had better matched flowers.
The above picture shows the newly matched pair with the puckered flower that has been loosened up and re-glued back on. These two flowers are more round and small. So they match reasonably well.
This picture on the right is the other newly matched pair with two longer and skinnier flowers. I yanked off the flower on the right (because it had been attached right in the center of the shoe (chinese incompetence) and glue/stitched it off to the side so it would match the other shoe. These pictures don't accurately portray the success story. I now have a pair with smaller, rounder flowers, and a pair with longer skinnier flowers. Robert think I should hang on to both in case I get one of them dirty or something.....good idea!!
