Blackballed from Road Runner Sports

Troll elsewhere, b*tch

ha-ha.

You ain't nuthin till you have been banned by letsrun.

Dude...i'm being 100% serious. It's slightly funny and slightly heartbreaking. It kinda feels like I was given the ultimatum by a chick...."either commit or I never want to see you again."

I asked for them to please refund this years VIP membership fee.

It's just sad it had to come to this.

My best memories from this disfunctional relationship are when Letsrun used to have an RRS link that included free shipping. And the Run America Club was only 20 bucks. 20 bucks a year and all the shoes I could want...oh, except for I had to pay 5 bucks to send em back.

Over the years they raised the ante...I became a VIP member...their shoes came with a return label that raised the shipping to 9$. But I remained loyal despite all this.

What a horrible day...i feel sick

Congratulations, you've unraveled the mystery of why the shoe industry is charging more and giving away less each year to the sport.

It's pricks like you who keep prices high for the rest of us. Good riddance you cheap-ass piece of trash.

what are guys talking about? You can still find great shoes for 75-80 bucks. Some 'top end' shoes cost more...but shoes like the Nike 360 aren't the greatest shoes in the world and the Kayanos pretty much coddle your foot into atrophy. The market charges whatever the consumer is willing to pay. If you aren't willing to pay 100 bucks for some over-technical pieces of junk...then don't. Ya, i understand that they're passing their profit hits on to the consumer but then maybe they shouldn't have that policy.

I didn't break any rules here fellas, and I don't think that corporate america is quite ready to be dishing out lessons on ethics.

Ya, I'm cheap...most collegiate/post-collegiate runners are.

Despite what Jerry says, cheapness is a 6th sense.

I think you kept returning shoes hoping they would call you. You finally had to call them, and they didn't like you. What a sad little troll.....

I bet you take girls out on dates to Burger King then go throw rocks at birds for cheap fun.

Road runner is the only place that will have higher prices you morons, just go buy elsewhere. I saw shaq has some new running shoes out at K-Mart that my be in your price range.

The I AM SOMEONE, I have been banned several times under several names.

That's not true, dipshit. If people move their business from Road Runner to K-Mart, K-Mart's prices will go up.

But they will still have shoes in a cheap price range...

Or maybe the blame lays on the dumbasses that setup that policy? Companies setup their own rules. You're a fool if you give them "extra" money.

Road Runner Sports should just change their return policy.

Typical bullsh!t. Should you solve the problem (the policy), or whine about someone being unfair?

This is exactly why there is no money in professional running...runners are cheap and poor and do not buy the products that the stars endorse. In other sports kids line up to pay $200 for the latest pair of LeBrons or Jordans etc.,in golf it's the same thing...hackers all over the world go out and buy Tiger's clothing, clubs and balls. Runners, like the guy who started this thread, try to scam the man and then complain about the shoe companies not supporting the sport.

you'd be right if kmart were the only other place on earth to buy shoes, but since there are thousands of places competing largely based on price, prices will never go up for the end user unless the actual cost of manufacturing the shoe goes up. Its called capitalism. stick with running where you don't have to think as much.

I don't eat fastfood and I've never fired a gun. But I do run 14:20 for 5k. How does that fit into your nice little equation phidipippy?

And let's try to raise the level of discourse, no need to dissolve into name calling.

Us financially struggling undergrad/graduate students gotta find every deal we can.

Sounds like they did change their policy and booted someone who admits: "I realize I was taking advantage..."
