Online Ordering

Last weekend, I flew home to Portland to spend some time with my family. While I was there, I made a trip to the Washington Square Mall to do some shopping. I headed to Lucky Brand to pick up a pair of jeans. I needed a pair of extra-long length pants in order to fit my long legs, but alas, there were none in stock in the store.

I did the next-best thing--I went to the register and asked to order some online, to be shipped to my dorm in Provo, Utah. The transaction went quickly and easily, and I left the store satisfied with how it had gone.

February 27, 2011. I receive an email saying that my order has been shipped and that it will arrive within the next week. In the email is a link that takes me to a page that takes me to a tracking page. It's pretty sweet--I can see exactly where my jeans are and how many days are left in their journey to Provo.

So far, they've gone from Nashville, to Kansas City, to Commerce City (Colorado), to Salt Lake City. According to the tracking page, they arrive tomorrow. I'm excited.

So it took a few more days for me to get my jeans than I really planned. So what? I get a better deal, and in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter when I get them--I'll have them eventually either way. Win. :)
