In January Amazon.com launched their shoe and handbag website — Endless.com — with the following promotion:
If Bossy told you how long she stared at that offer trying to make mathematical sense of it you would surely understand why some people can afford vacation homes at the beach while Bossy showers the sand away in a Trailer Park ladies’ room.
Turns out Endless.com not only offers Free Shipping but will credit your account $5 just for the chance to send you a pair of shoes within 24 hours. Bossy isn’t sure but she thinks Zappos just threw up in their mouth a little.
Endless.com also offers a 110% guarantee. That’s like a 100% guarantee with an extra ten up in there. Here’s how it works: If within two weeks of purchase you find another website offering a lower price, they’ll credit you 110% of the difference.
So if you buy a pair of shoes for $100 and find them later for $80…
You can browse Endless.com by style, brand, color family, price, or size. The only thing that confused Bossy was the following Style category: Vegetarian & Vegan.
Enter If You Dare But Don’t Blame Bossy When Your Vacation Home Is Foreclosed.

July 16, 2007 at 11:45 amAccording to your card, you depend on the kindness of Minorities? Methodists? Mole People? Huh?

July 16, 2007 at 11:58 amomg. ENOUGH WOMAN!!!
get that cucumber out of that shoe NOW!!!!
you are hurting me.
Jodi says
July 16, 2007 at 12:02 pmYa know, I have really really really been trying to stay away from Zappos because, well, shoes and handbags are dangerous territory. That’s right, no vacation home for me.
Now, I’ll add “endless” to my no-no list. Fortunately, the no-no list is null and void if I’ve had a beer, so I’ll check it out later.
Domestic Goddess says
July 16, 2007 at 1:27 pmWow. Five whole dollars off. And 110% of the difference is nice. Except that I still cannot buy their shoes because I spent so much on the ugly LLBean slipper/flip flops…

July 16, 2007 at 1:27 pmHey Stella – are you crazy? That is CLEARLY a Zucchini!
Dawn says
July 16, 2007 at 1:37 pmI think it says meritocracies 🙂

CableGirl says
July 16, 2007 at 1:55 pmoh avert my eyes! Avert my eyes. I need no other incentives to buy shoes!!!
Noelle says
July 16, 2007 at 2:05 pmI much prefer vegan shoes, because the dairy and eggs in the last pair of vegetarian shoes I bought last year went bad right quick.

July 16, 2007 at 3:18 pmAs we male Scotch say, “Oh aye. Shoes.”
Woman with Kids says
July 16, 2007 at 3:34 pmoHMYGOD.The perfection of it all. Paying the mortgage is overrated. Besides, if I’m going to be homeless, I need good shoes. Lots of ’em.
Brando says
July 16, 2007 at 3:39 pmThat shoe looks like it would be very satisfying to many women.
flutter says
July 16, 2007 at 4:24 pmLOL I love your math to justify buying THE CUTEST SHOES EVER.
I am sure you already know that veggie shoes just aren’t made with anything animal derived, which like, doesn’t make sense to me.
Mr Farty says
July 16, 2007 at 5:23 pmI’ve nominated you for a completely meaningless Stinking Bugger Award.
Because you’re worth it.
See here for details.

Mrs. Chicky says
July 16, 2007 at 9:55 pmDammit, Bossy, my credit card did not need this. Neither did my poor, wine stained mind. Negative $5? Uh…

Oh, The Joys says
July 16, 2007 at 11:59 pmThat crazy “fuzzy math.” (And speaking of Fuzzy Math. It is midnight and I spent the last hour wandering the streets of your city with my boss and… the brother of POTUS. Seriously.

Meghan says
July 18, 2007 at 12:11 amI’m not so big into shoes.
I went through a boot phase, but then I saw the Olsen twins wearing a pair I’d been ogling. Cured me real fast like.
Now, if this was a bathing suit site…
Mominatrix says
July 21, 2007 at 10:56 pmThe mominatrix loves endless because they love the United Postal Service.
The mominatrix is all for making crazy people just a bit happier by having to deliver and return her shoes.
