Conclusion: need something new.
Have in mind vision of sneakers with French Fries on them, which are not as easy to find as you might think.
Etsy.
Order shoes.
Get e-mail confirmation.
Get second e-mail saying: Have had problems delivering to Canada in the past so please give us your phone number and thirty extra bucks.
(Interesting approach)
Write back saying: I will give you my
Get e-mail saying: That sounds great your French Fries will see you in three weeks.
Immediately forget about this entire interaction and move on to bigger book tour problems such as finishing the book.
Just kidding. Book was finished. Not kidding that I forgot about shoes.
Much more than three weeks later get e-mail from Etsy saying Your Shoes Have Shipped!
But problem.
E-mail shows that French Fry sneakers have shipped to my home address in Canada not my
Immediately write back to Etsy saying: Attached please find previous e-mail chain where I requested a change in address and you agreed.
Immediately get response from Etsy saying: Our store is now closed. Thank you for your loyalty!
Great.
(This may explain why so many people don't end up writing books. They may not be able to get the sneakers they need for their book events.)
Three weeks later get confirmation receipt from Etsy saying French Fry sneakers have been delivered to Canadian address.
(They have not).
Call family member in US to see if shoes somehow landed there.
Family says: Oh I was meaning to call you. You got a package from Etsy.
Lessons Learned:
- Confirmation of shipping and delivery do not necessarily reflect shipping and delivery.
- Address shipped to does not necessarily reflect address actually shipped to.
- Store that is closed may have responsibly shipped your order before it closed so don't panic.
- French fry sneakers are as cute as I hoped but the soles are white so they might be too summery for a late fall book launch event.
