This post is a bit out of the ordinary for me. Normally, I try to stick to more traditional topics like saving money, safety and news. Now, I am trying to branch out a bit to give you other bits of information you may be able to use. This new initiative will include topics such as port information, deals I may stumble across, product reviews and trends in cruising; all while staying true to what has made this blog successful. While I will never write about anything completely unrelated to cruising, some future posts won’t easily be categorized. Today’s post is one of those that doesn’t really fit anywhere.
While browsing around last night I stumbled on something that is pretty random but may also prove to be useful in the future. While I’m not much of a clothes shopper when its time for me to take another cruise I do tend to pick up a couple of items. This past week I wanted to pick up a new pair of shoes thinking they would be cool to wear around the ship those in between times when I’m not in port, at the pool or dressed for dinner. Being the reluctant shopper that I am I went to the mall and stumbled from store to store looking for a pair of shoes that spoke to me. After about two hours of finding absolutely nothing I decided it would be better for me to break for lunch, see a movie and continue my search online when I got home.
This brought me to a site called Zappos.com, I’m sure many of you have heard of it. Basically, it is THE place to go for shoes online. I checked out the reviews of their service online and came away very impressed. I think they are now owned by (or at least affiliated in some way with) Amazon.com, and we all know how incredible their service is. From what I saw the selection is great and the prices are competitive but that isn’t the reason why I am writing. Far be it from me to tell you where to shop. The reason I am writing is because I found out that by signing up for their FREE “VIP program” I could receive FREE LIFETIME OVERNIGHT SHIPPING! Needless to say I immediately signed up. I didn’t order anything because I’m kind of neurotic when it comes to shopping but I figure it would probably come in handy in the future.
VIP Membership Includes:
-No membership fee. (It’s totally free!)
-FREE overnight shipping. (No strings attached!)
-Expedited returns. (Get your money back fast!)
-Exclusive website and phone number.
-VIP Points & Badges.
-Coming Soon: Priority Notifications.
-Plus, bragging rights to the coolest, hippest VIP program on the planet!
Here is the sign-up link to the Zappos.com VIP program if you would like to sign up. Once again it is completely free and I receive nothing from you signing up. I just wanted to pass it along just in case you ever decided you wanted to buy a new pair of cruising shoes in the future and wanted fast free shipping. It took me literally 30 seconds to sign up and now I have free shipping on shoes for life. If any of you have any experience ordering from them please let us know about it.
Edit: Actually Zappos.com sells a lot more than shoes but that is what they are most famous for
