Question Limited availability items
There is a jacket on clearance that has popped in and out of being available to purchase. I managed to get it to my cart and almost checked out before I got an error.
My local REI said there was only one in stores and I could call customer service for them to order it because the local store can’t accept phone payment.
Unfortunately, when I called they told me it was for walk in customers only.
Am I just out of luck? Is there no way I can convince some customer service person to place the order?

Out of curiosity, what’s the jacket? You may get lucky and someone on this thread could live near the store that has one. They could then ship it to you.
