OK, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I ordered a new Speedo Lazer X on sale over the 4th of July weekend. They were out of my size but it was supposed to be sourced direct from Speedo and shipped today. When I called today to check on it I was told they were delayed until August 7th. This means I won't have it for Nationals. I tried All American Swim as a vendor for Nats but was told they wont have them at the meet. I really don't want to pony up full price just to have another one waiting for me when I get home. Anyone know any reps that might be able to help me out? Any other ideas?
I guess I'll just have to see what I can get from the vendors. It is disappointing to me, however, because this was going to be my first cutting edge suit purchase. I've had several tech suits but always a generation or two behind current offerings. I've been wearing blueseventy since the full suit era (even though I never bought a full suit until about a year or so before they were outlawed). My thought was blueseventy now seems to be focusing more on open water so I decided I'd try Speedo (going back to my pre-blueseventy years). I thought I was getting a great deal (sale price + current suit) but no size sourcing before Nationals kinda kills it. I just can't justify paying full price + next day air to get one before Nats so maybe I just have to go back to the NERO14. It's just a frustrating experience and one I've never had to endure when ordering suits previously.
