cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (Default)

I've been trying for about a week to order these boots - a new style of embroidered Docs. They cost more at the German store we've just found, but the single UK source I was able to locate was out of stock. Next after that, there's American companies which'd have to ship to my parents and then I'd have to wait quite a while for my parents to forward them to me (most US sources won't ship internationally and even if they did, they'd be held up in customs if they were marked as commercial goods), and the point was kind of to, you know, wear them when it's cold. Which it totally already is. Well, not cold quite yet, but cool, anyway. It was about 10C/52F today.

These ones? (http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p-3280-vonda.aspx)
If a UK contact can help, lemme know.

:O I swear I looked for another UK source. Well, if the attempt to get them from the Germans fails perhaps we will be able to work out having them sent to you or another contact in the UK (since they only ship in the UK) and then reimburse the cost of sending them on to us.

I might add that I work down the road from the DM shop in Neal Street. If I get the chance I will nip in and see if they have them. What size are you?

Oh wow, thanks! I think it's a UK 7 - EU 40/US Women's 9. But if they don't, it doesn't matter because most of the places ship for free within the UK anyway. Sometimes I think it would be worth it to move there just to save on the cost of shipping all the books and dvds (and now shoes!) we order from there...

Cool, I'll check on the way home and let you know!

They ship for free? Man, I'm shopping at the wrong places...

Oh well, maybe it was just special offers at the two places I happened to be frustrated in my Docs-search the other day.

Okay. I am going to see if anyone has them here, and then I am ordering them and shipping them to Chiya. Since I'm over with her next week, the timing is perfect. *DETERMINED*

amazon uk has them listed, as does the official docs store linked to by [livejournal.com profile] buddleia above.

I found them in a Schuh store here. :D They seemed to be the last size 5 in the city, so it resulted in a mad dash over the river on my lunch break. But I gots them. \o/

[If you want me to help you get a pair, feel free.]

YOU ALREADY HAVE THEM D: I've been trying so hard! Alas, I can't actually tell anyone in the UK to buy them for me yet, because we had some Ordering Problems with a stupid website in Germany yesterday and have no idea whether the order has actually gone through or not.

...Ok, Wax says she never paid them because they didn't actually have a place for paying. But [livejournal.com profile] buddleia said she would peep in at the Docs store near her office for me on the way home. This shoe-hunt is so stressful! And meanwhile I just got a notice that the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun/Bohemian Rhapsody EP is backordered D:

You can also order from these guys http://www.schuhstore.co.uk They have them in stock and they ship to everywhere in Europe except for Malta.

...I have noticed her new EP hasn't popped up in the comms that normally have her stuff. Huh. I don't know if it being backordered is a good or bad sign, though.

Well in THIS case, when they changed the little button from "out of stock, sign up to be notified" back to "order", I was like YAY! and ordered it, only to get a "whoops, we lied, we don't know how long you have to wait" email. x_X Maybe I'll call up the other store that's supposed to stock it and ask them to check if they ACTUALLY have it.

KK, I think these guys have it in stock: http://www.indietective.de/indieshop/product-53113.html I order my crazy-difficult-to-find outside Germany Stillste Stund music from them, and they are reliable. A place to look it if your other order falls through?

Also, dude, I love that icon--I fell in love with that ad because it was EVERYWHERE on the tube when I met Chiya last March. <3

Cool, if I can figure out how to cancel the backordered one...

Yeah, the photography for that calendar was pretty cool, but that one was the most iconnable.

awwwwww lovely boots. i was super super sad after i busted up my ankle and all the metalwork in it means i can't wear anything but really soft flexy boots now because they hurt too much. i had to give away all my DMs. woe.

if you do need to do a UK order i am happy to help but i know you know lots of UK people who would also probably post them to you.

The offer's appreciated anyway! I'm glad to know I don't have to order them all the way from America at least.
