This happened to someone else...I think the thread is in the PCE forum. She pushed the issue until the manager contacted the district manager. Why don't you try to call a store and do a phone order? I know my regular store won't do it now because you would have to mail your PCE card to them before they could order it...but if there's enough stock, and they will bend the rules for you beyond a couple of days, you could mail your card to a store probably and get them to do it. There's a gallery store here in NJ that carries these Peytons, but I don't think they have any of the new colors yet...just the croc, suede, calf hair, fuchsia, white, and gunmetal. Maybe if you call them, they will allow you to mail your card. They actually honored the $50 discount on one of my Peytons for the last event, even though I didn't have a coupon card. Anyway, their number is 973-376-2747, and it's the Short Hills, NJ store. It doesn't hurt to try, and at least they carry this bag!! Good luck!!
