So this is just such a baby "why me" post. I have decided to get a Polar watch, one of those fancy heart rate dohickies. Anyway, I waited patiently for payday to go buy my chosen green watch and decided REI would be good since they give me a dividend. I called to see if they had it and NO they don't have it. I can get it off the site but that doesn't give me the immediate gratification of putting it on my wrist the minute the $$$$ leaves my account. I want it now, not 3-5 business days!
Can you tell I was a bit of a spoiled child?

Did you check the new REI? I'm sure you did, but had to ask.
But I totally know what you mean. The hubby is always doing next day shipping cause he wants it NOW. Me, I want it now but too much of a penny pincher to spend the $$ on the shipping. But that dividend does rule! LOL! I have things shipped to the store to get the free shipping and then we end up spending more at the store when we pick up the package then I would have spent on shipping in the first place. LOL!

Try Zappos - they have free overnight shipping and free returns. I love them - and my polar HRM

Eh, I work right by a REI (like .5 miles) so it is so much more practical to ship it to the darn store. No fun things in the mail.

Yep and so I find trivial things to be problems. Originally Posted by chicago

They checked all three area ones. Boooo hoooo. I would try other places but they are all the same price and the dividend next year makes REI cheaper. Originally Posted by Badgirl

I LOVE to order things! Mostly because I live in a town that's too small to have stores like REI to shop in.
