That belt that I was so excited about the other day has been nothing but trouble to acquire.
See, I ordered it through amazon (before I posted, being no fool), and the company it came through, backcountry, ended up emailing me with apologies and a discount coupon because, they said, amazon didn’t update fast enough to tell people it was out of stock.
Boo. Okay, try again, plenty to be found with froogle, right? Find a new place, O2. Order. Day passes. Pull emails from my spam box, call to change my delivery date. “Well, let me just check really quick here, we’ve been getting pretty low…” “… oh, I’m sorry, we’re out of stock on that, we only have the brown ones, someone made a mistake.” Cancel that one too.
Now I’m on number three, and I’m getting to that point where I’m ordering this belt out of sheer indomitable WILL.
That’s what happens when Gizmodo highlights a product that isn’t produced in incredible quantities, I suppose.
EDIT:
“In stock and shipping today. I personally pulled your order.

YES
I was able to order one last night from Dogfunk.com. Did you try there?
I did not – I thought they were the same stock as backcountry because when I got my coupon, they said it was good at dogfunk as well.
I’m envious of your purchase! I hope both of ours come through. So Mr. Bradakis and I can do that thing.
He thought that was one of the funniest comments ever. w00t!
They sent us a shipping confirmation this morning.
Yes, doing that thing by myself won’t be as interesting, so I certainly hope we can both get ours.
*shakes fist*
The black is getting hard to find at any price. Might be worthwhile to try the Cranium print.
