305-five fingers

so i got a new pair of shoes today, and it was a lot of work. it all started one night flipping through conlu's popular science. i saw these shoes, the vibram fivefingers that were like a glove for your foot and made you feel like you were walking barefoot. i had to try them. they were supposed to go on sale march 1st, then they were delayed until the 15th, then on april 1st they were finally available. i got the 204th pair! (however, they were only available in orange/black). to add to the wait, they had problems with there website and i had to call them a couple days later to confirm the order...at least they gave me 10% off and free shipping, which i thought was nice until that turned into the worst part! they shipped them economy ups which means i only got one delivery attempt which meant i had to go to the ups warehouse to pick them up. so, i decided to go friday at lunch taking the bus. needless to say, the ups address is not the customer service address and i ended up walking a mile around the whole ups complex only to discover i couldn't pick up the shoes since my id address didn't match the shipping address! then i went today to try again. i printed out the invoice as my proof of address. this time i rode my bike down there and again they wouldn't give it to me claiming anyone could have printed that out from my email. luckily when i got home, my electric and phone bill came and i was finally able to convince ups of my identity and take my five fingers home! they better be worth the trouble.
