Have any of you realised how much furniture delivery takes out of your life?

Question

Sometimes I think it isn't fair that anything that can go wrong with furniture deliveries does to me? Sears and the Brick promised quick delivery arriving the same day. Delivery from the Brick got postponed for three days and Sears delivery got postponed for a week. The Brick delivery finally came but they forgot to deliver the last item and they charged us full. Sears postponed their delivery for three months until we finally got it and our last item at the Brick didn't arrive for six months until we had to cancel the purchase. Does anyone else have these problems?

Answer 1

Sounds like you are easily taken advantage of. I would have canceled the sale the first day! Or at least received a large discount for the failure to meet contractual obligation.

Answer 2

I have never had any problems.  My experiences with Ikea (12 years ago) and more recently Ashley and Star furniture have been great.  Hope that you have better luck next time.

Answer 3

I haven't had problems this severe.  After being 1 or 2 days late, I'd go back to the store and demand a refund.  That will usually get them moving (no pun intended).
