I didn't take what gcbrown wrote as "wanting" more..moreso just asking if anyone had ever been faced with having to buy a subsequent pair via money order only and have no return option..

Here is the email exchange:

Hi (redacted)

 

 
We expect to pick up our Fedex and UPS deliveries today around 4pm.
 
By longstanding policy, we can only send the replacement pair when we have received the original pair back in new condition.  So we likely could not ship the replacement pair until Monday at the earliest.

Adam,
Let me know when you receive the 9 that I sent back. I have to fly out to the East Coast and wanted to wear/bring these shoes with me. I leave Thursday morning so would need to receive them by Wednesday. I think that if they went out today or tomorrow, I wouldn't have to send them expedited, but you would know better than me.
 
I can either give you a credit card for peace of mind, have you actually charge the card for another pair for more peace of mind and then do a refund when you receive the shoes or you can propose an alternative.
 
I sent them FedEx ground and I think that they'll be there tomorrow or Monday.
 
Thanks again for all of your help.

I would agree with you two if what he wanted was a refund he just wants a different size and if does that now he has to pay by money order .

Thanks so much. I can't tell you how much time I've wasted on this thread in the past couple of days.

owen
I just checked shoemart they have some left in some sizes might just luck out

OK

The LWB CIGAR 9D are on their way.
 
Should be there in a couple days. 
Please hold the 8.5.
 
Thank you.
 
 
 
 
it was clear that they wouldn't be here in time. I just wanted an exchange period. Not an exchange in a timely fashion.

When you start looking at high-end shoes, you will realize that Aldens are a bargain compared to many. Example - some John Lobb (not even shell cordovan) shoes go for $1,500.

I always get confused about these "family photos" when people have the money to afford all the shoes pictured, but not $12 shoe-trees for every pair.
