Weird, I got a shipment confirmation from TBS last week on an order I used a code for and they just e-mailed me saying they don't have the items in stock, what in god's name did they send me if my items aren't in stock? Has this happened to anybody?


Yep this happened to me as well on a pair of shoes, apparently their website didn't update the stock levels correctly, they just offered to get another item or a full refund.

Their inventory system creates a tracking number almost immediately and then the items are packed later. It's how you should operate in terms ecommerce as that way you don't get random user errors and wasted time / efficiency. Pretty sure stock is out on floor too so someone could have picked it up before they could pack. Pretty sure stock is accurate most of the time.

I do like tbs since their stocks are great and they ship fast. But 2 of the my 5 orders were out of stock after I order.
And I did not get any notification from them after a weak. I hope they could upgrade their inventory system in the future.

Hit up the Long Beach Trading Co... pickings are getting slimmer, and prices are now $50 for what's in the box. Grabbed a pair of SC 1966 in 31x32, KMW 2010 in 31, and SC lot 321 for a friend in 28. Not decided about keeping them. Anyone know if the KMW 2010 will shrink with a hot soak? The SC in 31 might be a bit too baggy for me, might flip them on the 'bay soon.

Well don't you guys feel dumb having had a 37% off but instead waited and now got backhanded with a 30%
Who was it that always says kop now and think after? APK, I think it was someone else and APK actually fell in the former group of waiting too long


My hesitations were almost always related to finances. I don't like to spend money if it cuts into my non-negotiable monthly expenses and emergencies. In a lot of those instances where I put off buying something, that's what I would have been doing. I don't wanna be one of those guys in the B&S forum having to dump their clothes for pennies on the dollar because they didn't think it was important to have some cushion in the bank account for unexpected expenses.

And really, there have only been maybe a handful of things I missed out on that I still regret, whereas a lot of them look like dodged bullets to me with the benefit of hindsight.

Sydney's 20% off website relaunch sale ends today.

We will be marking down individual items from some of our collections starting tomorrow, but LUC and m.a+ will not be included.
