So...um, who wants to help out a Canadian-and anyone in NY?

[meggers5]

There are shoes I want so badly. They don't ship to Canada. I could buy the shoes, send them to someone's house in the US, then transfer money via paypal to pay for shipping to get them sent to me. 

Out on a limb, I know, but it doesn't hurt to ask

Anyone in upstate NY? I'm thinking Watertown/Syracuse/Messena/places near a border crossing? I can pick them up if near enough.

I'm willing to go through a dumb amount of hoops for these shoes.

It's these ones

I'm not too far from the border, but I have no idea what shipping them to a postal outlet entails. I can get them for a whoooooole lot more money, but it would be about $70 more I shouldn't be spending.

You can ship them to the Ogdensuburg UPS store and pick them up within a week. It will cost you $5. They have instructions on how to address it on their website.

It looks like you have a solution, but I'm going to Canada in a few weeks so I could always get them and ship then when I get up there.

Where in Canada are you heading?

Where are you ordering them from? I have Amazon Prime, so I could get them delivered to my house by noon on Thursday if they are Amazon. We're leaving Thursday afternoon for Niagra Falls. We'll be driving along either ON 401 or 402 from the Michigan border to Niagra Falls. I could meet you along the way or I could mail them from within Canada when we get to the hotel Thursday evening. We're heading from there to upstate New York. Can I help you out in any way?

Thanks so much for the offer. They're actually $30 cheaper at Lord and Taylor though, so I'll order them from there, and I'm sure the shipping would be slower.

You guys are all so great with your offers and suggestions

what size do you need?  I'll be at an outlet mall later today that has a huge L&T outlet.  If I see them, I can pick them up if they are the same price and ship them from our hotel on Thursday or leave them at the desk if you are close enough to pick them up.

I would need a size 10, in the gold. That would be amazing if you wouldn't mind checking. 

I wouldn't be close enough to pick them up, but it would be great if you could have them shipped. Any price up to $90 for them is cool. 

Thanks so much for looking Let me know if you see them.

Ok cool. Can I let you know?

Thank you all so much ladies. Obviously I'm trying to be as cheap as possible lol, so I need to figure a few things out.

One of you will definitely be sending me some shoes before long

Of course. If you are along the way, I don't think H would have an issue with stopping to meet you.

We are driving up August 11.

they did not have them at the outlet store.  I'll be driving about and hour and a half away from home tomorrow, past at least two other Lord &Taylor stores--the full line stores, not an outlet.  I'll call in the morning to see if either one carries that shoe in your size.  You should know by 1ish tomorrow afternoon if I can locate them.

Ok, we're going on almost 24 hours later and I can't hold it in any longer. And I'd be shocked if I was the only one thinking this.

Are those shoes really worth all the trouble?

Really?

Are you being honest with me when you answer yes? Really, really honest?

Ok then. I'll leave it alone. I don't mean to be a dick.

WAIT. One more thing, this time i'll leave all emotion out of it and just try to appeal to your rational side. I so frequently return shoes I buy online because they don't fit well or are uncomfortable, etc. Will return/exchange be a hassle?

Well, the way I see it, I like them and if people are willing to help me out, why not? I really really like them. Emotionally I will be fine if I don't get them, but I figured it was worth a shot asking, and people responded. No one had to.
It's really nice to see so many people trying to help me out.

And yes, they may not fit. I would not return them. I'd try to sell them or give them to someone.

People are free to rescind their offers if it's becoming a hassle.

And you're not a dick. I know they're just shoes. But they're pretty

If it would involve making an extra stop, don't worry about it. I think I'll probably ship them to someone who can ship them to me.

I don't want it to be a hassle for anyone. Thanks so much though
