Last week during BB's 50% off suit sale I put in an order for a 38R navy stripe Fitzgerald. This ought to be a pretty common size/color combination, not a seasonal fabric. It said it was backordered until 9/19. Fine.
It's a week later and my order now shows a backorder of 9/27. Basicially every day that goes by, they are moving the backorder date further out by the same amount. Searching the forum, this seems to be a common problem with BB.com. I am sure that even at 50% off, they are still making a decent margin on their suits. In this economy, I would think that retailers are desperate for every dollar they can get - so why doesn't the online division get some suits in stock? Or find it at a local store and have it shipped out? Does BB really not need my business?
Anyone have some tips on how to get them to pick up the pace on this? Is it possible to transfer an online order to a store (whose SA could then find the suit and have it sent in)?
