Canada Post HATES VASS people!

[Maximus Mark]

My February MTO from Vass finally came in... and this is what I see:

Inside...

But then... opened it a little more...

ALL IS FORGIVEN!!! Vass 43.5 U-Last Chukka in Antique Cognac Cordovan with Metal Toe Taps, Topy heel, JR Sole tapered

Thanks Kolecho!

Do you remember when imageshack actually worked? Those were the days.

Beautiful Shoes. My EG box was also ruined by shipping

But the shoes were perfect as well

Mmmm.....Vass.

Wear them well!

WOW... did you not freak out at the PO? I would have lost my mind if my box came like that.

Holy crap! Did it get left out in the rain or something? Even for Canada Post, that's brutal. That said, they did once deliver a replacement panel for the dog's wooden kennel -- (yeah, one of those side-table furniture looking-things that you see in SkyMall catalogs and wonder what idiot would buy one) -- by leaving it out leaning against my GARAGE DOOR in the rain. Good thing it was double-boxed by the sender... the outer box was so waterlogged it by the time I got home from work that it practically melted off when touched. I'm glad your contents were spared! In other Canada Post news, especially relevant to B&Sers, there's a labour dispute which could turn into a full blown national postal strike if they don't get things settled by May 25th. Stay tuned.

OP, how much did you get hit with in terms of customs & duties? I'm considering a Vass order myself.

BTW, beautiful chukkas. Is that cognac? And why the choice of a Topyed heel?

$0 in customs and duties. Shipped from Hong Kong (Kolecho does bulk orders from there).

Antique (dark) cognac cordovan. Topy heel was an afterthought, at the time I felt that I would wear the heel out faster and since no one here can replicate the Vass heel job might as well Topy it to last longer.

Thanks, I didn't know about the heel situation here in Canada. I'll keep that in mind when I decide to take the Vass plunge.

It'd suck if they did that and then hit you with customs.

I got a box in similar shape from a Zegna Trofeo SC I bought on here!

Canada is worse than Britain for postal unionism. At least Britpost works. Hopefully the new Government can get it straightened out.
