I was pretty sure all of this was an error, but I decided to try to investigate further. Last night I decided to try to order the oil slick, and almost ordered it from
coach.com. However, I called first, and I was told they had only 1 in stock. I thought this was strange since multiple ladies had ordered it earlier when the count was supposedly at 1. I pushed the rep a bit and explained the situation, and she said on her end it was just showing one, and that any orders made online, etc would knock out that inventory. After talking with her, I became convinced that it's a glitch, and the only question in my mind is whether earlier it was not...or it was all along. In other words, did they originally have a handful of stock from consolidation and/or inventory. So it became apparent to me that probably the ordering system and inventory count were not "talking to each other" at the very least.
As we know they do sometimes seem to find stock from the "closets". And yes, it's also possible that some/all of these bags were replenished. All that said, in case there really was one in stock and somehow they had to sift through orders and didn't take them in a first come, first serve manner, I decided it wouldn't be very nice of me to order it for the heck of it. Actually, if I got a second one I would keep it!
Anyway, in theory, I would think the webmaster would correct the issue, but I suppose if they don't know which items are affected, and that has to be confirmed physically, or going back and doing a checks and balances, that could take some time. I don't really see it taking HOURS, but nevertheless... We all know this company falls short in so many ways on occasion, and their database is at the top of the list in my book!
I still see the croc Peytons, so I will probably call and try to investigate that as well. The reason is I had thought of purchasing one and then waiting for PCE, so I called a few days ago to see if there were any of these bags in JAX overstock or in the stores, and I was told absolutely nothing. So they either got more from some source, or this is definitely an error. I have the blue croc, so I will probably be checking on getting the green.
Oh, and Nancy, at least the older stock crocs say "Bleecker Street".
