Freaky. I ordered a pair shoes from zappos.com at 9pm last night online

[Lex]

and when I got to my office, after a meeting, at 12:15 pm today, the shoes had already been delivered and were in a box beside my office door.

They are in Kentucky and I'm in NC.

Shipping was free. Yowza.


(I ordered these shoes online because I ordered an identical pair to ones I had finally worn out, so I knew the brand and size were correct. In case you wondered. Which you may not have.)

:hi:

1. I rarely miss the chance to sing the praises of Zappos.

They are just fantastic!

[Rambis]

2. They are great!

I got a pair of Josef Seibel shoes and they split on me after 4 months. I bagged them up sent them back (365 day no questions asked guarantee) and they sent me a pair of comparable Clarks along with a 25$ off gift card. I got the shoes put them on and walked around Ireland for 10 days. I love the Clarks!

[SallyMander]

3. They did that to me too!

Totally blew my mind... i ordered at 11pm and had the shoes the next day at 1pm. Crazy!!!

[deucemagnet]

4. That sounds very Outer Limits.

Perhaps they're evil shoes from Hell's website? :scared:

[Lex]

6. I was wondering about that!

I just don't know how they do it!

[Cabcere]

10. No, you can only order pizzas from Hell's website...

www.hell.co.nz

They're the ones that had that "Too good for some evil bastards" ad w/a pic of Bush's face a while back. :P

18. LOVED that link! And check their Wikipedia article too:

"Dispose of the evidence" :rofl:

[Cabcere]

25. Haha, nice!

:rofl: Thanks for sharing that. :hi:

[seemunkee]

5. They have shoe making elves in every city

[Lex]

7. aha! that explains it!

nt

[madeline_con]

13. When I buy online, there is often mention of

multiple sites the company ships from. That might be a less evil explanation. :evilgrin:

[Critters2]

26. Petsmart does this.

There's a Petsmart distribution center about a mile from my house. Still it has to go to the UPS center 14 miles west before getting here. But even at that, it can arrive the next day.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Yeah, but there's a price for their efficiency. I urge the OP to count the underpants in his drawer.

[Lex]

22. The OP isn't a he.

And I'm not sure what underwear has to do with shoes, but if counting under'pants' makes you happy, go right ahead. :P

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. South Park reference. Underpant Gnomes.

And sorry about the gender confusion. Should've checked the profile instead of basing myself on the username.

8. Alternate Universe's Do Exist

(uh-oh, that was a thread from a few daze ago...)

But in this case it applies.

That is incredible turn around time.

[Lex]

12. Yes

I think I will go out of my way to give them props on their turn-around time when I log into their site.

[AllegroRondo]

9. do they carry running shoes?

I could use another pair of Asics 2120's

[Lex]

11. You can browse by size and manufacturer to see

what they have. They have a huge inventory.

Main site: www.zappos.com

16. I can't recommend them enough. Huge selection. Excellent customer service and

absolutely no risk involved in buying from them. It's free shipping, no sales tax, and free return shipping if you don't want the shoes.

[AllegroRondo]

17. ooh - they have Asics Gel Enduro 3's

I've been looking for those....

[Lex]

21. Yes, I like the way they make return shipping easy & free

if the shoes don't fit.

[prole_for_peace]

14. they did that time warp crap to me too.

kinda freaked me out.

another awesome online shoe store at www.endless.com/

fast shipping and great prices too

[grace0418]

15. I had a similar experience recently. I ordered them at nearly midnight before

Labor Day and had them Tuesday morning. I love Zappos. Best customer service ever.

[Massasauga]

20. I guess they don't get a lot of business. The CEO must have driven them over himself.

;)

[Pithlet]

23. I've been thinking about ordering from them.

I'm not big on ordering shoes online because I like to try them on first. But, I've heard nothing but good things about them. Their return policy is very reasonable, so I think it might be worth it.
