Looking for a kind soul in Kent/Bristol/Stockton-on-Teeside/Dudley

Hi guys and girls,

Trying to get so shoes from River Island for my girlfriend for Christmas but it turns out they only have stock left in some of the London stores, as I live in Manchester this isnt great.

This is a very very very long shot but I was hoping that someone down that end would maybe be able to pop into one of the stores on there lunch maybe and see if they have them in stock. Obviously I would send the monies over once bought (they are £100) and pay for postage to me etc. I also have a £10 gonedigging (unusual gift website) voucher that I would be happy to give.

I know I dont spend much time on this site anymore (used to be a regular!!), life seems too busy for the 'misc' nowadays, but I hope someone can still find the time to help. Obviously the helper would have to be a known member to avoid trust issues!

Anyway, heres the shoes, I need a size 4 - http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/shoes--boots/ankle-boots/black-gem-wedge-ankle-boots-610095

Thank You in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Jim

    Probably a silly question, but have you tried calling the London stores direct - they might be prepared to send them to you if you pay by credit or debit card and P & P.

    Charlie Brown I think I'll try that first, thankyou then:

    really nice of you fluffundacrakas (now theres something I've never said before!) honestly thats really appreciated. I'll try CB's advice at lunch then let you know the results.

    I'll try to them a call again on my lunch (12.00) and get specific stores but she named 2 or 3 in the city centre. I didnt think to write them down, then thought I'd give HUKD a shot!! I'll try to get the specific stores for you by lunchtime if CB's advice turns up trumps.

    Thanks alot, really :)

    Jim, I'd love to help but I'm in the same Mancunian wonderland as you are. Sorry
    manchesterjim
    Tinkytayls - thanks for the help, I wont be beaten by these shoes though I need the 4!!!!!!
    Mikethemanc - no worries mate I feel the regional love

    fluffyundacrkas - have called up and now only 1 store remains in London which has them, Bluewater.
    I've spoken to 5 shops across the UK today and none will ship directly from the store to me :(
    Really appreciate you offering your help its a HUGE deal, let me know when you think you can do this. doesnt have to be today, anytime in the week etc is more than cool.

    Thanks :)

    Jim – Bluewater unfortunately is in Kent which is outside of London and bit too much of an epic mission for me to get to I’m afraid mate :(

    I will check River Island on Oxford Street tonight if I get a chance to, that place is massive and I would be surprised if they didn’t have it in there. Really sorry I couldn’t help, you might want to edit your title to ‘Kent’ to see if some other kind soul would be able to :)

    bump - anybody? :)
    LoveHearts
    Did you call the Enfield store? If they have them I could get them for you.

    If you don't have any luck, I have some shoes similar from Sam Edelman. If she just likes the style and isn't set on that exact shoe, try looking there?
    I was thinking of these in particular:

    I'll be in Cabot Circus on Saturday if the store will put them to one side and you have no joy with anyone else.
