Frickity, Frick Frick!!

So now it is Friday night and still no couches!! We were supposed to get our new furniture on Thursday during the day. (we have been very antsy to get them since we have been sitting on the floor to watch TV for the last week) Well, first we get a call on Thursday saying that they will be delivered much later than they originally told us. THEN when they delivered the couches there was a ginormous tear in the back of it. They told us if we wanted to keep it anyway they would give us a discount. We contemplated it, since the tear was in the back and could be easily hidden since it would be against a wall. How much of a discount, you ask?? Oh, it was a whoppin' $30!!! So we chuckled at them a little bit and told them they could take it back.

Next they tell us that they don't have a time slot to deliver until Monday! So Chris got on the phone with someone and caused some havoc and they told us we would have it Friday (today) by 7:30. We felt so relieved when we got a knock at the door. They got start brining in all the pillows and what not and they brought up the first half and smallest part of the sectional. Chris told them to be extra careful on the way up and was watching them very carefully around all the corners. Well they got it about half way up the stairs and, AWESOME! ANOTHER TEAR! This time it was all the way across the front. Sooooo, we had to send it back....again. And had to raise some hell with a phone rep....again. And we are stuck waiting until tomorrow night for our furniture....again.

I was going to post some pictures of them, but that will have to wait until tomorrow (hopefully) I could take a picture of our "half couch" but Chris is so frustrated at this point I don't think he would find any humor in it. :)

Oh my gosh! That is frustrating. We finally ordered a couch from costco home but it'll be here in eight weeks...so hopefully you'll get your couch before us...but, who's to say.

LOL...oh, I'm so sorry but I have not an ounce of pity for you. Remember that we were sitting on the floor for OVER A YEAR! And finally one of our friends gave us a busted up love seat. LOL..oh well. I guess its because I'm so DANG PICKEY!
