I wanna pair of CROCS - help!

jackieb

I ordered 2 pairs of Crocs from sandalsuperstore (a US site). I paid $65 for them and I was tracking them. They left the US on the 20th of May and I think they may be stuck in customs.

If I don't get them by Saturday i'm stuck with 2 pairs of Crocs I don't need. My dh got them for a Russian bloke he works with, and he leaves to go back to Russia on Saturday (most of the Americans wear Crocs over there but none of them will buy them and take them back for the Russians!) Dh told me to get the cheapest I could find and it didn't matter if it was from abroad, so it's his own fault. I would have bought them from a UK site.

crocs.com or is it too obvious? they are $29.99 but the exchange rate is still very good so think even with P&P works out a good price and you know they are real.

Sandalsuperstore forgot to charge me for postage. It was supposed to be $12 for the first pair and a small extra charge for the second pair. They were supposed to e-mail me when they were ready to be sent out so I could play the postage, but they never did. They just sent them out!

US site will deliver to Canada & US only, unfortunately.There is a UK site but it's usual UK prices there.

Thanks for the info, did manage to get onto website their server was down for a while!!

Reason for delay - OUT OF STOCK!!:mad:
my daughter is hopping mad she wants her crocs and she wants them now:(

Did you receive an email from the confirming them in stock when you first ordered them? I too am waiting for some crocs from fatshoeday for my partner, we ordered them a week ago online and was told that they are instock, however reading their website yesterday more in depth, I notice that in stock does not actually mean that they will be sent out next day, it means that they should be sent within 10 days, available means that they can get hold of some within 4 weeks, bit misleading I feel. I brough my dp the professional ones in navy as he wants to start wearing them for work. I have cayman sea foam and love them so much.

Hi all, back from Florida now and what a bother I had finding REAL Crocs! There are crocalikes everywhere but not as many stores with the real ones, surprisingly.

Thats why I'm putting my order in with taylorshores.com for delivery to my hotel on arrival.

Friends last year found exactly the same and one shop told them they got a delivery every morning but sold 200 pair a day.

Do you think I should order some Jibbitz too as I don't particularly want Disney ones? and were any "crocalikes" better than others as I don't mind buying a pair or two in bright colours that I maybe wouldn't wear often?

I bought a pair or 'Traps' that were white crocalikes with a bright pink flower on the front. Kids were suitably embarrassed, but I like them and they're a bit different.

There's a very reasonably priced store in the Orlando Premium Outlet area near Vineland Road (Avenue??) which sells all sorts of discounted shoes. Lellie Kelly kids shoes for example were only £17 but they don't always have all sizes. Loads of croc types in there, but no actual crocs when I was there.

Loads of Gatorz and Sketchers all colours and marbled effect too which were quite nice and different.

Those were the better makes, the cheaper crocalikes with no branding at all were either pretty hard or so soft they would rip, I thought.

Good idea about delivery to hotel, I wish I'd thought of that.

The jibbitz in the Universal place were the most reasonably priced I found. Most there were $2.49 which is what Taylors seem to be selling for. Taylors do seem to have quite a good selection, more than anywhere I've seen so I think I'd order now, you probably wont find them any cheaper, in fact a lot of the places we looked were $2.99 and more depending on size/type.

As said before Disney is everywhere and most jibbitz seem to be Disney something or other. It was a joy to find a flower!

I got my Littlewoods statement through today, they definitely took off my £15 discount - the total price for my purple Caymans is £14

We're staying near there so I'll have a look thanks and I have a couple of pairs of the Sketchers and like them.

I can see I'll be spending more time on my order for Taylors in that case
