AAARGH! What do I do? Updated!

If it were me, I would keep them but would still phone them to say. It's always worth saying and see what they say back. They may offer you some kind of compensation - if you don't ask you don't get.

What a pain in the bum though.

I would let them know because there is some poor lass waiting for HER shoes with HER wedding date on the bottom of them and if its not you then the shop need to know.

Sure you can shrug your shoulders of it and forget about it but by letting them kow their mistake you might get a fresh pair and some lass somewhere isnt sitting in tears??

let us know how it goes but make that fone call!

Are they really your shoes, or is some other poor bride, with the same size feet, wondering where her date stamp is?

Oh God! I hadn't even thought about that! i jsut assumed they got the date wrong - not that they have sent me someone else's shoes!

Though the box is printed with my name, and this random date - so that makes me think they just wrote my date down wrong, rather than that the order has been mixed up? But will ring nonethelss!

And if anyone out there is getting married on the 1st May and has been sent a pair of size 6 Diane Hassall shoes branded 30th May - give me a shout! ?

Oh dear Milna. What an awful mistake they've made.

I'd certainly phone them asking had they "made a mistake", as they didn't seem to be your shoes as they don't have the correct wedding date on them.

And can I ask coz its realllllly buggin me, what IS your avatar???!!! Two ladies in funny hats??

Yes! I was looking for pictures of funny wedding hats to send to a horsey friend (as in, has horses, not is a horse. Horses don't get married), threatening to wear the same to her wedding - and found that. They are horse heads ?

Yes I can seeeeeeeeeeee...fabby lolol did take me a wee while, i knew they were hats but.. cheers for putting me out my misery!

I would keep the shoes and wear them for the wedding, but i would definitely phone the shop to tell them about the mistake, it may lead to nothing, but if it was their mistake, they may give you some sort of compensation, you never know!!!

I would call them and see what they say - I think I would be a bit miffed to be honest even tho I wouldn't have known about the option before. But if I then knew about it and it was wrong I would be annoyed- tho in the grand scheme of things it prolly doesn't matter really

I'd call and see if you can change but wear them to the dress fitting. You'll only be stood in them on carpet (unable to move an inch or look down if my fitting the other week is anything to go by) so you won't be harming them and saves messing that bit up.

Can you post a piccie soon tho cos I'm DYING to see what they're like. I love her shoes but had a hard enough time justifying the £100 I spent on mine ?

Bugger.

If they'd have been a size 4 I could have had them. My birthday is 1st May and they could have been my "birthday" shoes (in the same way that I have "cruise" shoes, "cousin's wedding reception" shoes, "hen night" shoes, "Wednesday" shoes etc etc)

Haaa, know what you mean Kelly. My OH said the other day, "why have you got so many pairs of shoes, I only have three pairs." There is no real answer for this. Only that they are "NEEDED!" lol

For MrsCroft2B!

I think I love them.

I don't care that they're a size 6 - I'll wear insoles and stuff socks down the back.

Please can I have them? They're my birthday shoes. If they weren't supposed to be mine they wouldn't have my birthday stamped on them.

It's fate. They want to be mine.

(sobs)

Ooh they are lovely, putting the date on them without telling me would pee me off to be honest, although I never knew you could do it interestingly.

I agree with the others, tell the shop as they are probably getting you confused with someone elses order and that would be mortifying for the other person .

Oh here!, I would definately get on the phone to let them know that they have made a mistake...is the date on the box the same as the date on the shoes?

IMHO if I was going to wear a pair of wedding shoes with a date stamped on hem I would want them to be MY wedding date, could they even rush the order for you?

Let us know what they say, they are beautful shoes btw ?

I agree with the others; worth a phone call. If you HAD asked them to brand them and they'd got the date wrong, you'd want them to change them so it shouldn't be any different. Love the shoes too! I had Diane Hassall and they were soooo comfy, have worn them loads since, they are worth it!!

I agree with the others, I would defo ring them and ask for compensation of some sort, as a good will gesture, even if its a small amount.

I bought a hip flask as his gift for the wedding and it had a small dent and a scratch where they had obviously touched it by accident after engraving it, i emailed the company and got a fiver back, its not a massive amount but it pays for a place at the evening reception for someone. Worth asking you have paid alot of money for them.

HTH

Ooooh - I'm having these shoes too (but I'm not getting married on May 1st!). They're fab! I got mine free when I ordered my dress!

Well I rang the shop! I don't have anybody else's shoes - they just have my wedding date wrong in their computer system so gave the manufacturer the wrong date. They said I can keep current shoes for fittings, they will order replacements, and then we can do a straight swap before the wedding.

Pleased with that - but asked if they would consider a discount on groomswear as an alternative (as we are also hiring £500 + worth of stuff through them for that) - and they said no problem - £40. Really pleased with that, as I can live with the date thing, and now don't need to feel quite so guilty about the ridiculous cost of the shoes in the first place. ? And a much cheaper option for them than replacing the shoes I reckon!

Hooray for customer service! ?

So I'm not getting my birthday shoes then?

Damn their good customer service.

(throws tantrum)

? Sorry to disappoint!
