TL;DR: pretty good chance you'll feel like an inconvenience. Better options in Denver include: BPRUNCO in edgewater, Runners Roost dead east of here on colorado. Tons of experience at all three, only ever made to feel like a jerk at fleet feet.
The employees at fleet feet made me feel inconvenient and, frankly, like an a**hole for a mistake made by one of their coworkers. I went in on a weekend to order a garmin watch. They didn't have that one in stock. I asked if they could order it and, because packages are sometimes stolen at my house, if I could ship it to the store. The employee said sure, that they don't usually do that but that it wouldn't be a big deal. Order placed.
That Wednesday my shipping notification says the watch has arrived. Dope! I go to pick up the watch. There's a young guy at the front desk, tell him I'm there to pick up a watch for Tyler. He proceeds to tell me they don't receive orders for customers as if I had somehow decided on my own initiative to order a watch to their store. I ask if he can look in the back for it. Reluctantly and begrudgingly with a substantial air of "well this effing inconvenient" he says he will. Cool, now I feel like a dick for buying a watch from them. Shockingly; the watch isn't back there. He then proceeds to explain their entire shipping procedure to me, informs that is the reason they don't order things for customers. I ask when I can pick up my watch, he says "I don't know. Someone will go through the stuff back there eventually and then you can get your watch. I'd say come back next week." He tells me again, this is why they don't order things to the store for customers. Again, as if I had just unannounced and unprompted shipped it to the store. He doesn't offer to email his manager, take my number done and call me when I they get it, or even leave a note. Only I'm sorry man, this why we don't do that. Cool.
I'm out of town until Tuesday. On Wednesday morning I get a call from who I presume to be the store manager, Veronica. The message begins with "we have a watch here for you. We don't usually take orders here for customers." Oh, I get it...and apparently I'm the one that offered to have it shipped there. The message continues, your watch has been here for a while, so I'm going to issue a return for it if we don't here from you." A) it was there for less than a week, b) it's a tiny watch, that takes up no space, c) I already tried to pick it up, though I guess no one passed that info along. I return her call. I'm immediately told that this is against policy and she explains the shipping procedure to me. I hold back from telling her that a curly haired bro had already informed me how inconvenient this was for them. I tell her I'll have the watch out of their way by that afternoon.
Super disappointed in this entire experience. read more
