They offer the gift method for a little extra if people want to keep this worthless shoe box which needs to be done away. $200+ shoes warrant respectable cases Nike. Lebron gets a slide out for cheaper shoe? These deserve a badass case for once. Foamposite is unlike any other and should have a stand out box. @$%@%!$ just do it Nike
It is eastbay's fault, really. Did Eastbay stated that the box is FRAGILE while being sent in a bag? How do you know if people who order from Eastbay do not care about the condition of the box in general? Did you take a poll? Especially if you spend about 2 bills for some sneakers) it does not matter if you are a collector or not. But the person receiving their shoes in with a damaged box is completely uncalled for. I was disgusted at looking at that box.
If they cared about the box then they would pay the extra for gift packaging and stop complaining since they don't pay tax or shipping. Eastbay deals with bulk orders and could care less about someone who orders 1 pair of shoes for $200. Yes they should use a normal shipping box when shipping 1 pair but they don't and we all know this so why do people act like this a surprise? Foot Locker caters to the INDIVIDUAL while Eastbay does team sports. Find it amusing people whining about their box after dropping $200 on a pair of shoes, if you are too cheap to buy the gift packaging when ordering from Eastbay just go somewhere else. I get disgusted reading dribble over a box like it is the end of the world.
Ok, you do have a point about people acting like it is a surprise that they can get a beat up shoe box from Eastbay. At least some of us that is on this forum or ordered from Eastbay in the past should know that they are infamous for sending sneakers in a plastic bag unless you buy something extra or if it is a pair of Jordans from which I heard. I never actually purchased from Eastbay, but I attempted twice for the Air Jordan 3 DB and Air Jordan 7 Year of the Rabbit and failed both times. But, as I stated in my previous post, it is still uncalled for and UNACCEPTABLE, and I do not care how much the sneaker cost. This is BAD business. If that is the case, indicate on the plastic bag they ship it in and label it FRAGILE so that the Post Office has to be responsible for handling the package.
