Has anyone here signed up for the Eastbay Gold Membership (free 3-day shipping and special 800 number for Gold members only)? How'd that go when you guys went to order the Cement 3s from them last Saturday? I'm thinking I should sign up if that 800 number worked out well for you guys.
I want to know the same thing, as well as if the 25% off on your first purchase can be used on new releases. I want to get the Playoff's.
That number is garbage. It doesn't do a dang thing but get the rep to say, "Gold Member" like they are Mike Myers or something. The discount is okay, but EB always has some sort of discount offer going on, regardless if you're a member or not.
The 3-day shipping is good, though. I ordered from them this past Saturday night (couldn't get thru phone lines), but after 30 minutes in a random, online wait-line I was able to confirm my order. That's the first time my order has worked out through EB's new online process but it's still flawed. Some customers get through in 8 min, others have to wait over an hour. When the CG XIs dropped, I had my online time change to 2 different times from 14 min to 43 min to over an hour--RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. I swear, EB has a very flawed and mixed up way of handling online traffic. Then again, NDC has failed me, too, so whaddya do.
Back to EB shipping .... very quick for me. I actually received my order today. The good news -- I got a box (I always have). The better news -- I got Cement AJ IIIs. The bad news -- I got them 6 sizes too big.
Seriously, how does that happen? What's more is that they are flawed with loose strings and scratches/marks on them. Gotta love those retros.
