just gimme the goddamn shoes

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.

: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.
