I started this thread to keep the discussion out of the deals thread.
I just got an e-mail telling me that both my PAs and Strands are backordered. I'm guessing that they are delaying all the orders until they figure out if they will honor them.
I received the same e-mail when I did this on Monday, and the shoes shipped out directly from AE on Tuesday. I received them this morning. Nordstrom simply doesn't stock many of these directly and it takes an extra day to get them from the AE factory, hence the auto-notification.
I haven't gotten an email but the rep I talked to was super ditzy and said the system wouldnt save my email. I might have gotten upset if it werent for getting over 50% off brand new AEs and the fact that she sounded cute. *shrug*
I hope that all of these calls, e-mails and inquiries to Nordstrom don't have a negative impact on the outcome many of us are waiting for. Perhaps we should let things lie? Just a suggestion.
So I'm sure i missed the possibility (which makes me sad because I could really use a pair of PAs), but why didn't people order from this Beren place originally? I see now that there aren't even listing any Allen Edmonds on their site.
My Beren Strands are arriving Tuesday. I ordered soon after the post was made. My Nordstrom PA's are showing as delayed, but as a previous post mentioned, AE is fulfilling them directly. My thoughts are that AE asked Beren to pull the sale and then took back the inventory. As a result, Nordstrom wouldn't be obligated to price match. But who knows what the real story is.
This whole thing reminds me of the Slickdeals / HP Touchpad Firesale from a year ago, except I'll get more use from these shoes than a tablet running clunky software (of which is now running Android ICS pretty smoothly).
An update from Beren... I sent their customer service an e-mail yesterday when they were pulled. Does this give us hope? Or not?
Thank you for your message asking about Allen Edmonds here at Beren Shoes. We have them on sale in our store but the designer has requested that we do not market online at the sale prices, so the items were removed from the website. The shoes are still available at the 50% off price if you would like to call and place an order at 800-886-9797.
