Zappos is an amazing online retailer. This is an outstanding company that knows what a customer is. I only hope Amazon doesn't screw them up - not that they are going to... but Zappos is the best internet retailer I've ever seen. Check them out.

I totally agree! Not always the best price; but the very best customer service!

I'll be interested to see if Zappos continues to have the same high level of employee benefits now...

Capitalism still working well......fortunately, no pols have dictated that Zappos set aside a percent of their shoes to sell at cut-rate prices to certain demographic groups.

I don't know about anyone else, but I like to try on shoes BEFORE I buy them. Yeah, online purchases can be returned, but it's a hassle.

Its no hassle to buy try on and return if you work at a place that has a daily UPS pick up. All i do is order (and i order the shoes in my size, the size up, and the size down), next day i have the shoes, i try on all 3 pairs to see which fits the best, and then return the remaining shoes, or all 3 if i don't like them. I print a UPS label, smack it on the box they shipped them in, and walk over the the UPS bin at my work...and im done.

VERY simple.

Guess what T-Mug? You don't have to buy your shows from Zappos then. Check out Nordstrum Rack if they have them where you live. It's more work but great selection and pricing.

Daily Horoscope for November 29

Sagittarius

Pay attention to your health as the Moon enters Taurus and your sixth house of health and service today; it might be time for a check up. With Neptune and Jupiter in your third house, nervous tension could be leading you into bad habits that will undermine your health. If you feel stressed out, reach for your athletic shoes instead of a double martini and you'll be happy with the results.
