Tropical Breezes outfit no longer has pineapple sandals

[trvnbrn]

HI,

Just received a call from CS & they no longer have pineapple sandals for their Tropical Breezes outfit. After ordering the outfit & receiving it w/ "faulty" sandals I contacted AG & they sent me a whole new outfit...with "faulty" sandals again. I contacted them a second time & was assured that they would check the box before sending me a new outfit (they claimed the sandals could not be sent by themselves, but they had done it w/ another TB outfit for me just recently??? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img] ) At any rate, they called & told me that they had checked and all the sandals are now plain.

My wild guess and this is only my *speculation*, is that the outfit is set to be discontinued. When they ran out of pineapple charms they did not order any more & are just letting the outfits sell out w/ the plain sandals.

The outfit is still super cute & a great buy at the $15 price considering all the pieces you receive. Just don't expect pineapples on your sandals. lol.

That's a shame about the sandals, but if you could find pineapple buttons at the haberdashery you could sew them on the sandals to give them the complete look.

Oh well,
I ordered that outfit today for DD's b'day (next summer).
I was looking forward to them. Guess I'll be looking for some buttons.....

Well you have to deal with what you get. My teacher told me that.

It's funny because I order this outfit a couple of months ago for my niece's birthday and never even noticed that my sandals did not have the pineapples on them. It wasn't until I read about it here that I went and looked. It's still a great deal at $15 though.

You can get just the sandals on eBay right now. One seller has a few pair for a BIN of $3.75 with $1.50 shipping.

That's odd. Last MCM sale (2005) the sandals with pineapples were part of the welcoming bag from the hotel. They were also at the sale. Then for an eBay seller to have multiples, the outlet must have been selling them. Why didn't the outlet sell the ones without pineapples so the sandals with pineapples could be shipped with the outfits? [img]confused.gif[/img]
