Once again it has been the best part of a month sice my last post, and so much has happened in that time!!!
But how much of it is blob worthy? Seeing as this blog is about me - all of it is blog worthy.
There are furniture troubles a plenty happening in the house of M34tb4LL and G, we spent a stupid amount of time looking at furniture shops for a new couch/arm chairs and thought we had found a nice (grown up looking) option. Paid our deposit and waited 4 to 6 weeks for it to be made and delivered.
So when the long awaited sofa set arrived, it was not what we thought we were getting ): The three seater couch that we thought we were getting, and had check with the girlie girl that sold it to us, was actually what i would call a 2.5 seater. Meaning that instead of having places for three bums there were two seat cushions, just a little bit bigger than normal. Called the store and was told that they do not do three seaters with three seat cushions.
Tell me you are going to get people wanting to sit on the crack in the middle of the couch!
The dude i spoke to offered a refund (rather trying to make an arrangement that would make both parties happy - makes me think this kind of stuff happens all the time to them!) We asked if rather than rush into a refund, can we get three seat cushion made. Was told that we woulold have to speak to the manager in two days time.
So after i placed about 3,497 calls two days later to the store the manager called me back. It is not possible to get three seat cushions made because they would not fit! See told you it was not really a three seater - false advertising!!! So told manager we would think things over and get back to him, also made it clear that we wanted to look at our options (cruise other shops again) and that would have to wait till the next weekend, he agreed, he had no choice, after i sited "section 52 of the trades practises act..."
We looked around and a bit the next weekend and in the mean time used the furniture to see if it would work for us. NUP
So we called the manager (nearly two weeks after all this started) and told him we wanted a refund, which he agreed to - like he had any choice.
So the furniture was picked up the next day and we have had the fully purchase price refunded.
Stay tuned for the next installment to see if we get more furniture or just sit on the floor like hippees for the rest of our lives.
