Saga of the Converses . . .

[MacWage]

Thanks to a link and thread on THIS VERY FORUM . . .
I made an order of some (actually 4) pairs of shoes. Well, 2 are the customs and Extra hightops and 2 are monochrome black stock ones.

Well, I make the order and get a return box saying it didn't go through due to unidentified error and to try again. So, I did. Same, so did again. Same.
I waited a while and tried again. Same problem.:confused:
I tried twice this morning. My order never went through and my "cart" never emptied. Finally, I called and ordered my phone.
Well, tonight I checked my e-mail and I got one confirmation and 2 cancelled orders (same shoes two order numbers). I called to make sure that I would get the 2 cancelled shoes. Surprisingly, I got through almost immediately. She got my name and number. I explained and she asked me how many times I ordered . It turns out I have 14/FOURTEEN!!!
FOURTEEN!!!!! orders of the SAME pair of shoes, all made the same day, She cancelled 2 not yet processed, so the number is now 12.
Hopefully, the system red flagged the order BEFORE it was processed. Otherwise, I might get 24-28 pair of $70 custom shoes, non-returnable. AND 24 pair of returnable stock ones.

It is NOW a MESS!!!!!!
I'll keep y'all updated as things get straughtened out.

Moral of the story: If the order is Not excepted. CALL and DO NOT HIT TRY AGAIN!!!!!

So, if one cannot get 10.5 black hi-top Converses, they are ALL coming to me.

Update: Actually it was 17 orders, 16 stock and 1 custom (shoo) . Now, its 12 "shipped."
I could get up to 16 pairs of stock shoes (4 in leather) in one size . I hope Converse and UPS figure out how to stop all but 1 order!
Oh

I'd like to help you out and take a few pairs off your hands, uh, feet, but I wear a size 15.

10.5 is a pretty common size though. Maybe there'd be some people here that need some. What do the customs look like?

Funny story (but not funny ha-ha!) I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago when I tried to order the 2004 Edinburgh tattoo video. I tried twice on the net to place the order and finally gave up and called. Well, you guessed it, three copies showed up on my door step. Now it is a little far from Snellville, Georgia to Edinburgh, so some poor unsuspecting folks got bagpipe music for Christmas!

Let us know how it turns out!

That sucks, It has happened to me on line also, only I was ordering $20 items and I got to cancel one and had to pay for 2. Learned my lesson???

My manager just a had the exact same thing happen. Only he ended up with 4 or 5 orders of ATV full body plastic (about $500 an order.) Luckily for him, in doing so he put them in back order status and only one set had shipped.

Gee... I feel kind of responsible. Sorry about that. If that were my size, I'd buy some of them off ya. (I have almost as many hi-tops as Kilts.)

Being someone who writes, uses and test software tools, I have an instinct which dictates; if something seems not to work initially, just investigate a little and see what really happened.

Gee... I feel kind of responsible..

ack! Why do you feel responsible????? I think it was my link that the poster was refering to. I feel horrible

Call your credit card company immediately and tell them you were charged more then once, they should be able to help you out.

[mudd]

ack! Why do you feel responsible?????

He PMed me about my all black extra-high-tops. I told him that's the place to get them.

[cloves]

I see. Either way, if he calls his credit card company and Converse and explains what happened it should all be fixable. *fingers crossed*

[Splash_4]

It certainly should. Credit card company's are used to this!
