Can't wait to see them. This is the thing - - for online shoe ordering you really need to be confident it will fit. If you know the brand...sometimes they will stock something only in one colour in Canada but at least you can try it here and then order -- in that case it is less risky.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936628 Sun, 19 May 2013 21:29:26 +0000 krishnidoux 936628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for all this info! I finally went to a brick and mortar store today and got myself... 2 pairs! Not the Serenas but something just as pretty if not prettier and&nbsp;<br />1) I'm sure it fits<br />2) I'm sure it doesn't hurt<br />3) I paid a normal amount, under $200<br />4) I can return with no fees other than my parking or bus ticket if I need to.<br /><br />So I'm not quite ready to go online yet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936616 Sun, 19 May 2013 21:04:45 +0000 Anonymous 936616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is odd, because they pre-estimate the customs and duty at checkout. Do you mean brokerage fees? I've never had to pay anything extra, and shipments have come UPS and DHL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936544 Sun, 19 May 2013 18:15:47 +0000 lyn* 936544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd be careful with Amazon; I've been nailed big time for customs with them because they sent with UPS. UPS IS EVIL. (almost more evil than FiftyOne). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936418 Sun, 19 May 2013 15:28:19 +0000 Scarlet 936418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a similar experience shoe shopping, but both shopbop and amazon have done well for me with international shipping. Having said that I haven't needed to return anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936406 Sun, 19 May 2013 15:14:56 +0000 Angie 936406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amazon!!! That's the best solution. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936334 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:50:06 +0000 Raisin 936334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aw, that sucks! &nbsp;Especially when you've made up your mind to buy it and get all the way through to find out you can't. &nbsp;Hope you find them! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936331 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:48:21 +0000 Ingunn 936331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I fully understand. Where I live, most purchases involve import tax and a lot of hazzle, too. Best of luck with finding the sandals you want! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936330 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:43:19 +0000 Suz 936330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ URGH!! I hear you. But do try Amazon; that might work out.&nbsp;<br /><br />Also -<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thebay.com/eng/shoes-sandals-espadrilleswedges-SOPHIE-thebay/294604"> is this the shoe at the Bay?&nbsp;</a>&nbsp; More expensive (so what else is new) but delivery is free and returns free. Very quick delivery, too. You can get stuff from them in two days sometimes!!&nbsp;<br /><br />If this is not the right one, they do have other SE styles.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936324 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:36:12 +0000 Jules 936324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zappos had a Canadian site, briefly. They quit because of customs issue and also licensing issues I believe? What understood is that they couldn't sell the full range of many brands because Canadian retailers only get a subset, so the shoe manufacturers couldn't let Zappo sell more variety than their retailer customers had. I thought that was mega-annoying so I get your rant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936323 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:35:04 +0000 Anonymous 936323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is your size? Amazon.com has the nude in a range of sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bummer-bummer-bummer-more-canadian-ranting#post-936301 Sun, 19 May 2013 11:25:04 +0000 krishnidoux 936301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ &nbsp;I just tried to order online this sandal from Angie's suggestions:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-serena-black?zlfid=2&amp;zfcTest=fcl%3A0">http://www.zappos.com/sam-edel.....st=fcl%3A0</a><br />there is one left in my size in nude!<br /><br />Only to discover Zappo doesn't deliver in Canada!!!<br /><br />I may be the last person to discover this, but it's because this was my very first attempt at shopping online with Angie's suggestions... I am SO bummed out. I know I can't find these in Canada, and an online browsing session of what is available in Ottawa taught me that all the nicer sandals are over $200 here... under this, it's either ugly duck legs types or something I can just tell&nbsp;will cut into my skin. <br /><br />&nbsp;ETA: just found them on "Shopbop"&nbsp;which apparently delivers in Canada (for 10 CAN$&nbsp;more = more or less 13 US$), only to find there were none in my size left... double double bummer (the story of my shopping life).&nbsp;&nbsp;
