Wanted to be the “Zappos of pants”.<p>I’m a frequent shopper of Bonobos and Zappos.  One glaring flaw is their shipping speeds.  I felt in its earlier days, Zappos really paved the way for fast and convenient shipping.  Order a pair of shoes, and you get it on your front porch in 1-2 days.  I rarely shop at clothing stores now.  I like to have clothes and shoes delivered so that I may try them at my leisure in the comfort of my own home and debate whether to keep the purchase for a couple of days.<p>Bonobos shipment takes approximately 5 business days if you live in Northern CA (which is where I am at.)  Returns also take awhile.  Approximately 2 weeks from when I initially ship the item, to when I receive the return on my CC.  You can’t be the “Zappos of pants”, if your shipping speeds take 5 business days.<p>Their customer experience is one of the best I’ve ever experienced.  They are really polite and really responsive.<p>Additionally, if you visit one of their brick and mortar shops, and you order through their reps at the store, you will get a sizable discount.  Grab that person’s card, and try to make future orders through that person for discounts in the future.
