Oh the joy! So yes, now that I'm actually on facebook, I posted these gorgeous wellies on my timeline. Of course, I just don't find facebook a place to put much else than "hey, look at this cool find - or look at that!" rather than photos of my kids or something (but then I thought that looked like all I do is shop)...anyway, I digress....
Yesterday, when I realized I missed the delivery, I just couldn't wait for the re-attempt today. And hooray! They're here! And just as beautiful as I imagined (although matte rather than glossy like the photo seemed to depict, but I actually like that).
J wasn't home when I thought I'd order these, so for some reason I decided to wait until the next day when he'd be back and show them to him (and use his card!) - I went online to the Joules USA website and my heart dropped. Where were they?!? Gone!!! Not a mention of them. This was especially devastating as I realized there were probably loads of people who, like me, saw them, loved them, AND got the 25% off offer from their mailer that same day. Yikes! I immediately called them up, and while discussing the issue with the person on the other end, discovered they were still up for sale on the UK website. She worked to determine if they could ship to the USA with the same USA pricing (and free shipping offer that came with the 25% off) and voila! It was done!! I didn't expect the free shipping all the way from the UK to be express delivery by DHL, but hey - now I'm really celebrating with them for their 25 year jubilee!
