There is a household muscle memory that gets activated when a TRR package arrives. The little brown canine senses everything before me. Her ears shoot up and she trots with indignation towards the front door, letting out a succession of suspicious fishy-breathed huffs. Then my ears register the mechanical chug of the UPS truck. You know how you can tell which family member is approaching your room by the sound and weight of their footsteps? There has to be something like that with mail trucks. UPS feels like a clumsy manatee and Fedex feels like a bitchy crow. USPS is a trusty beagle.
Anyways, it is a ritual. I signal the furious canine to back up and gingerly open the door a crack, just enough to slip a limb through and snatch the floppy gray package.
I ripped the perforated edge open and pull out…an item I did not order. Wtf, TRR! Wrong brand, wrong color, wrong size. Customer service says to be patient as the warehouse sorts it out. 3 weeks pass and there’s no answer as to the item mix-up but they can offer a $75 site credit.
Aaaaand this is why I have such a love-hate relationship with TRR. The inventory is getting TJMaxx-fied and the customer service is getting DMV-ified. I am a hypocrite though (or…do I just contain multitudes?). I’ll sigh and be like I’m SO OVER TRR but 3 business days later I’m like ok what treat shall we spend this site credit on.
I’m browsing shoes for spring, which I guess can mean anything because Bay Area weather can be conducive to sandals one week and tall boots the next. Here are 8 niche shoe brands in my saved searches and specific styles I’m considering.
