Re: [RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

They finally arrived after 13 weeks and, having worn them for about and hour, I think they're pretty comfortable and they seem well made. If the company were more realistic about there delivery time -- it was posted as 20 working days plus shipping when I ordered, and when last I looked it

Another data point. Without having read the posts on this topic, I ordered a pair on May 9 of this year, 2019, at which time the website listed time to fulfillment as 20 working days plus extra time for shipping. The website now gives the time to fulfillment as six weeks -- Ii may be that the

Adding another data point: I got mine today (10/24) after ordering on 7/31, which gives credence to the 10-12 weeks-rather-than-days theory. I got an UrbanRunner in my typical size. I usually wear "W" or "E" and these fit fine so maybe not meant for those with narrower feet. Very cushy out of

[RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

Hi all: My shoes are due to ship October 10. I truly believe that there was a typo in order receipt notification. The 10 to 12 days was meant to say 10 to 12 weeks. If they are making the shoes from the basics, including spinning the material to create them, 10 to 12 days seems unrealistic.

Re: [RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

Per the latest Blahg post Grant received his shoes after a lengthy wait. Patience is a virtue, right? I hope you’ll receive your shoes and be happy with them. I look forward to some reviews. Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Re: [RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

They got back to me with a ship date of the 13th & a tracking number; which basically to me means they hadn't even started them yet, as that was on the 2nd or 3rd. So, I'm still in wait & see mode. I'll see if I get anything on the 13th & then on about the 18th if not received I'll be in touch

Re: [RBW] Re: Blahg Post Ethiopian Shoes

Good deal! I think we in a highly advanced free enterprise capitalist country may have somewhat unrealistic expectations of businesses. Next day air, two day free shipping, orders shipped same day. For an up and coming economy and business the extra time is probably a minor inconvenience that
