Furniture delivery

Posted by on August 15, 2012

Unfortunately, the pics I have to share with you are not the ones I had hoped.

First there’s the writing bureau I was really excited about.

Bureau 1

Hardly surprising given what the box looked like when it arrived.

The matching sideboard also looked like it had taken a few knocks

Some before it’d even been shipped.

I took photos of the front corners. And already knew it was unacceptable, before I even looked at what was underneath the worst damaged box parts.

Then there was my lovely big dresser for the dining area. It’s damage could be seen before it was even off the truck.

At this point I told them not to bother unloading any more, that I was refusing the whole shipment. They took it away and I called the company I bought it off. It now seems there will be a fight for me to get all my money back. Well if they want one, they’ll get one. And it’ll end up costing them a while lot more.

But in the meantime, I’m still without furniture. And without money to buy any because I spent it all on this broken crap. Yes, it’s been a shitty day.

The rest of the photos I took are here.
