I have purchased several things from them and usually they arrive in about 5 days, but it has taken longer on some items.
For me it's usually faster than the estimate, but I'm just two states away from their shipping center.
I usually receive things within their window but one time a pair was overnighted San Francisco to jersey and then driven across the country FedEx ground on a truck to Vegas... I could have driven to the warehouse in San Francisco myself and gotten them sooner!
For me, it's 3 days if shipped from their NJ location and 5-6 from San Fran. IMHO Their shipping is pricey and slow ... but I've gotten some great deals so I deal with it
. I'm kind of addicted to the real real actually.
I live in Chicago and it takes about 3 days from the NJ depot and 4-5 days from CA. Their shipping IS ridiculously slow for what they charge, considering most online retailers provide free shipping.
Thank you, Megt10,mdmd, Adaniels, remy12, tickedoffchick, tiffcake, for your feedbacks. Like some of you here, I am in CA and 4 out of 5 times I received my orders beyond the "5 working days" time frame and TRR is not "apologetic" about it at all. Don't want to mention names but my shipping experience with "Yxxxxxxxxt" and "Fxxxxxxxxxxe" were a lot faster ..
p/s: I wish TRR had kept their warehouses in SF but then my guess for the move is the cost/rental ..

I couldn't find it either and forgot about it til I saw your post. I placed an order around 7pm pacific time on Friday--I received notification Saturday that it was shipped that morning and I didn't even check the tracking bc I figured it would take a miracle to get it before the weekend... but I received it today!! It only cost $12 which is the usual amount I pay for the slow shipping. When I checked out I just chose the cheap shipping (because I couldn't tell if they were going to discount it or not). I just checked my order confirmation/shipping emails and it didn't say anything upgrading the shipping--BUT the FedEx tracking info indicated it was "FedEx 2-day" whereas that $12 shipping is usually marked "FedEx Home Delivery" when tracked.
So yeah... It was a pleasant surprise!
Maybe if you call them to place the order rather than doing it through the web you can be assured whether or not you're getting discounted upgraded shipping... And if not maybe you can twist their arm to do it anyway! [emoji3]
Are the Bals here authentic? They don't provide the necessary pics for authentication (like Fashionphile) and it's final sale... so I'm wondering if it's safe to buy from them? I don't want to have to deal with potential headache.
