Zappos.com

Ok, so I don't usually post about this kind of stuff, but I was so impressed I just had to share. If you ever (or think you might ever want to) buy shoes online, do I have the site for you! It's http://www.zappos.com . There are a few reasons why I am so impressed with these guys. #1 is that they do free shipping (both ways! If they don't fit, or you don't like them or whatever, no worries- you can send them back on their dime.) I have never heard of anyone doing this before, but I love it. Having 2 kids has made shopping at the mall feel like nothing but work (never thought I'd hear myself even THINK something like that-how depressing) and so it's much easier just to shop online these days, but I absolutley HATE paying for shipping, so I don't do it as much as I would like to. #2 Great thing about them is that they have thousands of shoes to choose from, mens, women's, kids, babies, etc. and you can search by size, color, brand, style, etc. And their prices are pretty competitive, too. And even better is that it is a great site, and it shows each pair of shoes from about 7 different angles, and close-up so you can see EXACTLY what you will be getting (another drawback of online shopping; often what you see on the screen doesn't quite look the same in person.) Ok, and here is the reason why I decided that this website is so blog-worthy: I ordered a pair of shoes yesterday afternoon at around 4 p.m., and lo and behold, who rang my doorbell this morning at 11 am? Why, it was the FedEx guy with my shoes, of course! From a click of the mouse to a ring of the doorbell in just 19 hours? How is that even possible? It would practically take me that long to prepare for a shopping trip to the mall...! I looked at the packing slip, and apparently they came from Kentucky. If that isn't a speedy delivery, I don't know what is. So, I would admonish you to check them out next time you want to order some shoes. I am totally sold.
