Oooh, those are good ideas! I don't know about you, but I've had some rotten luck on shipments from the Bay. One shoe order last year never arrived, and more recently I made two orders over two days. The first order took at least 10 days, while the order I made the following day (non express) came within days. Maybe price out express shipping....
Not even sure our Bay would have them either, but it isn't too bad. Not downtown, but close (Oakridge).
