Getting dad to change his mind about online shoe shopping
Hi, I've seen your advice around and I noticed that it's very helpful. So, I was wondering if you'd help me.
I want to buy these shoes from www.zappos.com, and I'm sure it's safe, because I read the Safe Shopping Guarantee. I read the Customer Reviews, and everyone raves about how the service was reliable, and trustworthy. It came on time, and they had no problems with their credit cards. I asked my dad if it was alright that he get them for me If I paid, and he went downright, "No." He doesn't want to give away his credit card number because he might have fradulent charges and other things like that. But I'm convinced everything is good, please take a look at the website, reviews, and Help/FAQ. I printed out this:

He overlooked it and just plain out went, "No." I really, really want these shoes! I can't find them anywhere, that's why I resorted to buying online. Is there any way to change his mind? Please? Sorry about the topic, I didn't know where to put it under. THANKS.

I had hoped they would take a money order but they don't. Darn it, that would have been perfect!
The only thing I can think of that may make your dad allow it is.. that giving your credit card information to a stranger at a retail store is probably just as dangerous as purchasing something online.
I'm a big chicken when it comes to using credit cards myself, so I can understand what hes worried about. It really is no worse than using it anywhere else though.
Have you tried any other places online that may take a money order? If I knew the ones you were looking at I would help you look. If you punch in the name of the shoe and the maker of the shoe, something may come up for you.
Hope that helps a little. If hes as hard headed as most dads are though, it may not help a lot.
Good luck. :)
