Official '16 JORDAN XII Black/Red FLU-GAME (NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING FAQS PG.1)

Any of you pay extra shipping charges to get them sooner?

If so, WHY?

I like NDC because majority of the time, they offer free shipping. Finishline pair was gonna come out close to $220. NDC Pair came out to $207 with free shipping.

fedex blows. they need to revamp their system. take some tips from UPS.

everytime a fedex package comes thats eligible for hold at nearest pickup location...they list like 50 near me, but they are "unavailable at this time" and only 2 are available and theyre 10+ miles from me. and their reason for that is because the other 48 cannot accept because fedex doesnt know if they can handle that many packages/they dont want them to get overrun or run out of room. how tf do u let places sign up to be a dropoff pickup location but they have no room to accept packages for holding, EVER?

ups uses tons of mom and pops stores that are smaller, and i have ZERO issues having my package rerouted to those access points.

Wow, sounds like they've given you a lot of headaches. The FedEx just dropped off my package like 15 Minutes ago. 10:45 AM, in Dallas. The only downside is they usually only deliver if you are present. View media item 2052246

Not sure if it's for everyone just west coast people, but it looks like Nike bumped the free shipping method from Ground to 3 Day Select for an order I placed for a buddy in Cali.

For me every time i order from Nike the free option has always been 3 day select. Im in MT

ah lame! Did they charge your card/paypal? They charged my paypal saturday on purchase but paypal didnt take the bank funds until Tuesday right before shipping conf came through.

I asked on RD but with all the traffic went unnoticed ....

Has anyone ever had the pairs they won in a raffle sold before the window to pick up the shoes ? I was one of the first people to pick up my guaranteed pair and somehow one of the 5-7 people before me were sold my pair. The FNL employee just took maybe 5 or so people's raffle ticket and then came back with the winning/matching pairs. Then they proceeded to not check IDs. The employee who was running the show, told me that she could guarantee me a size 12 when the unclaimed pairs became available .

I'm not sure what to do to complain or if it would even be worth it . This store has been notorious for rigged raffles and just other sketchyness.

yes its happened to me with the 3lab5 release.... they tokd me they mustve over raffled so they told me when the window was closed they would give me a call to pick whatever size was left and they honored it

speaking of again....i missed delivery saturday so this morning i said F it, and signed the notice they left, authorizing them to just leave my package and put it back on my door for them. so i get an email at 12pm saying delivery exception, nobody home missed delivery etc. im like that CANT be? so i call home and my uncle checks and he tells me theres 2 notices, 1 with your signature, and another saying missed package.

the freaking idiot fedex driver put a new missed delivery notice right next to the one from saturday which i signed telling him to leave my ish. hows that for incompetence? why even have a section at the bottom telling me to sign if i want them to leave my package if theyre not gonna follow directions?

edit: spoke to the manager of the driver and was told it does not matter if i signed the bottom portion releasing them from liability and authorizing them to leave my package. its still up to the discretion of the driver whether he wants to leave it. so i asked him what is the point of having that bottom portion then if its still going to be up to the driver? the ENTIRE point of that is so that i release fedex from liability and now its MY decision that u guys leave it and u wont be responsible anymore. alotta stuttering trying to come up with a sensible answer for me, which there is none.

now i gotta go 10 miles both ways outta my way to pick up my package, which i paid for shipping for, due to some BS policy that makes ZERO sense. im tempted to tell em to send that ish back.

for those of u getting packages from fedex in the future, keep in mind their BS policy.

NDC pair came in today. Had a couple of scuffs and glue stains. Nothing too bad though. Quality wise, these are behind both the French Blues (best) and Masters
 
On feet shots?! I've seen these laced so many different ways

so what's the intent of your post? you angry? jealous? something else?

he could have been sending them to friends or relatives. If he is a reseller, I say good for him, I'll never hate on another person making money in a legal manner.

I personally struck out on this release but not because of resellers, I took a casual
approach and didn't put in the work. L for me, onto the next one.

Saltiness, perhaps.

250 and you better move them quick because people are already on to the XI lows. After fees you may net 20-25. It's no longer worth selling Jordan GRs unless you're moving big time numbers. I wish people would finally realize that

If you drove around town for raffles you'll more then likely net a loss with gas and time alone.

If you got them online, spent about an hour clicking and getting frustrated that will net you maybe $25 if you sell locally. Either way reselling for Jordan GRs is completely dead...People need to realize if you're just starting to resell Jordans now you might as well not even start.

Not true. Got 7 pairs of men's size, and a grade school for my niece. Flipped 6 pairs for $280 ($75) profit and paid for my size, my nieces, and still made $100.

All in all, between the mall raffles, online purchasing, and pickin up the shoes... I put in about 5 man hours (being generous, cuz it was more like 4) and I made $450. I highly doubt u make $100 an hour at ur job.

It may not be worth it to some of u, but for me.... It is. Getting paid to stock my collection > paying for shoes.

I'm assuming you sold them local because at best on eBay selling at 280 would net you 52.20 before any shipping cost.

On the topic of his question. If you're flipping 1 you're probably not selling local. So you have the 13.5% fee from eBay/PayPal. So at 280 he has 242 after losing that. Then on average he's paying 15.00 (probably more since it sounds like he's non us). Takes him down to 227, and that's at the 280. The last 5 sold men's listings on eBay are at an average of 251. So if he deems 202 after fees and shipping is worth his time then he can enjoy his 12.12 in profit. Plus he's assuming the risk of someone coming back and claiming fake. In that case he's out 251 or more.

Like I said if you aren't moving numbers on grs in that first weekend you've missed the resell profit window.
