Payless shoes tip for saving more if you know what to ask.

[oscarandme]

I just spent a long time trying to explain thread and everything went away.. so here it is again so please delete one fo these mods if twice..TY.

I have found this out a few years ago and have been lucky enough to apply this since. DH loves closed shoes because he hates showing his toes and I have found out that many men feel this way.. I hae been trying for years to convince DH to give those chubby little toes a break for summer. I found a style about 3 years ago at Payless here and i thought he might just give them a try. So when i was at my favorite Payless location, they did not have the size I needed so the manager checked in the database and they had a few pairs at the Orleans location and I am in the West end of Ottaw, I said I'll take them, I can return them if henot ready to come out? she laughed and said of course. of course me always asking for back-up.. can you please note model number, size, color, price and name of who you spoke to, she said of course but I will print-out on your receipt. I kindly said what receipt, well since we do not have your size we offer a 6.00 discount per pair to present to the location you are picking them up from and save even more.

What???? so sale price plus 6.00 per pair plus they were 50% on promotion sale from 69.99. I nearly dove over the counter and kissed her. I mosied to the other location and and got my 3 pairs for far less than the price of one full price and that time they had a promotion when printing the receipt to save 5.00 on next purchase. The planets were aligned I'm telling you that day.
So every year around school time I anticipate a sale and cross my fingers and always have been lucky and Never saw anything posted about this since I have been reading on SC or maybe missed it so thought I'd share.
So yesterday SC kindly posted the 40% off coupon and I thought I wonder.... I looked-up the item:



Sorry cut and paste photo but the red x marks the spot that did not work...they are Mens' Wetland Leather Bump Toe (still manly, and sporty and breathy) and they have other ones that are adorable like little boy ones in leather too for 19.99 I think U.S. (add a few dollars and check with a local store how much but 40% and if they do not have 6.00 off...

Called my favorite store, none in stock, last 2 pairs 9.5 at a mall near our home and she called, confirmed and called me back and I waited if she would offer but she did not so I asked" do you still offeryour 6.00 offer since your store does not carry"? and she replied "yes we do"! She called the store back and informed them of 6.00 offer X 2 pairs) and she called me back and said any problems tell tem to call this location and this is my name and I can confirm.

Note: Before you had to have the receipt but this time she just called and all was done. So half an hour later, with print-out in hand, coupons for SC for 40% off and name and store and contact name (hand-written on print-out) we were ready to get some sandals.

So sure enough. 29.99 sale price, minus 40% (thanks SC) and 6.00 off each: was about 33.00 (DH has invoice).

So this is similar to SCOP so ask: (do you still offer a discount of 6.00 if you do not carry the item and can find it at another?) and if I recall corectly the 6.00 is compensation for having to go to another location. they did not do transfers. If memory recalls that why the discount.

DH has progressed as well to open toe sandals too although he really should stick to closed (yuk) but the little guys are getting some air and sunshine once in a while and being diabetic, I just want them to be healthy and comfy so hope this tip helps for more savings. Enjoy..

Note: I always have trouble getting the Canadian Website to visit so remember the prices can be U.S. on the website..Just F.Y.I.


UPDATE:


This 40% sale was only good till August 25 because a member just asked for the link to coupon (thought I'd add-already over but...School starting soon..there will be some soon B1G1 or B1G half off second pair..) Stay tuned SC blog will let us know).

oscarandme!! You revealed something I have been getting for a while now, but I just never thought to post this. My whole brood are all BIGFOOTS! ( men 12, 14 and 15, gal 11) So they rarely have their sizes when I go to my closest store, and as you say, they phone around for us, find the store that has them and voila! extra discount!! Love it!!

[oscarandme]

Good luck, hope they don't have your size...let me know..

Good luck, hope they don't have your size...let me know..

"Hope they don't have your size" lmao only on sc can that be considered a wish of good luck! lol

[maiyuu]

I never knew about this! I wish I did though. Funny coincidence is that I also bought my significant other a pair of open-toed sandals from Payless but they didn't have his size lol, we ended up picking a different pair! Will remember this for next time ty!

Thank you so much for letting us know. This is new to me, so I will definetely keep this in mind the next time I'm at Payless.

[momof3heathens]

Yes I found that out the other day as well.

They offer the coupon for children's shoes too. I don't know how much it is now (if it is the same $), but I did this for my wedding for my flower girls a few years back. I had a 4 girls that all needed shoes. (I had 4 flower girls and one maid of honour.) With the coupon and a sale I was able to get them for $13.00 a pair!! It is a great way to save a bit of extra money on such an expensive day.

[oscarandme]

Great deal. Nice to know of this discount! I had no idea something like this exists.

I know that some Payless stores tend to carry larger sizes so if I wanted to inquire about a pair of shoes at local store and staffer found them at another store, the receipt with discount was given after phone confirmation of stock.
