I called up NIKE, got a cool guy on the phone willing to help me out on the OC's , and stock locating, etc... Went top to bottom for me through the US's stock at Nike stores.. He said, you may be in luck, LA and Santa Monica are showing, 10.5 11, 11.5 on up... So I quickly call them up after thanking him immensely, and this is after calling half the countries Nike stores as well. LA is sold out, okay... I call up Santa Monica, woman who is very nice helps me out, I tell her I spoke with Nike and that they 'should' have these sizes in stock.. She say's okay hold on i'll check, comes back on the phone, I have a size 11.. I AM ECSTATIC at the moment... With my next leading question , I then get a little scare dto ask it in fear of her response, "can you please do a phone order for me"... She proceeds to ask her manager and put me on hold. Coming back, and with my fear of her answer, it is exactly what I expect, "sorry sir we cannot ship them", my retort immediately is then, how come? Company policy is you are allowed to ship out a sneaker 2 day's after it's release date, REGARDLESS of if availability and 'limited' nature. I say can you please put a manager on the phone, okay she said. Guy picks up, with a brash undertone.. Sir, can you please explain to me why you cannot ship these to me? OH, well, it's limited and ............ And? Well we just can't.. I said , I know your company policy and 2 day's after the release, you are ALLOWED to sell it to me, by phone order and out of state. He said, well you can come pick it up... At this point i'm like, I AM DOING A PHONE ORDER BECAUSE I AM IN NY, and I can't find a pair anywhere.. I called first, first come first serve, you are now liable to sell it to me under company policy with my intent of purchase and expressed interest in purchase. He say's, well I can't, and hangs up.... ARE YOU F'NG KIDDING ME? I call up NIKE and file a complain, she calls on the other line the store, while i'm on hold, to get an answer as to why they cannot sell it. He say's, we aren't doing phone orders today........... I have had it with NIKE in every aspect, i'm done.
Wish everyone well, i'm taking a leave of absence from the site and buying sneakers. I just can't deal with the rudeness, aggravation, hassle, poor business ethics, etc.....
