Why didn't you tell your furniture delivery story?
I was running low on time, and I was afraid I'd cuss.
I ordered a dining room set: table, six chairs, a hutch, and a dresser to set the hutch on (we hated the base for the hutch). I gave them almost two months to get it all together, because we weren't ready to move.
So, I get the call the day before: "Two of your chairs are on back order and the table we got is scratched."
The delivery van rolls up and we immediately reject one chair (three are left). The dresser wobbles on my hardwoods. It's partly the floor, but very OBVIOUSLY the dresser. So we rejected it and said the hutch may as well stay on the truck. At this point, I've waited around all day for THREE STINKING CHAIRS!
An hour later, the delivery dudes call: "We got a tech to meet us."
The dresser still wobbles. So, these guys go out to the truck, and grab a battery operated circular saw to shave the middle "leg." This guy is fiddling with the guard and pointing the blade at his belly, with his finger on the trigger! I said in the interview that I thought I was going to have to tell the police why there was a bloody black dude in my dining room.
After these guys leave, we notice that the hutch and dresser stains don't match... (This the story that I told)
Fast forward to now, the stains STILL don't match. We had a tech come out to fix scratches on the table and chairs (what he can do is AMAZING, by the way) when they were delivered several weeks later.
