OH MY GOODNESS....ridiculous

Some of you might have read a post about the Grover Chair from a few months ago. Well, the saga continues. No, we STILL do not have our chair. I was promised the end of October and well, now it is almost the end of November and as of about 30 minutes ago I am completely back to square one. Our chair arrived at the warehouse on Tuesday.....DAMAGED. You have got to be kidding me.

So, Jim gave me a few options. Best Chairs was willing to sell me the grover chair at 1/2 price...which is still over $300. Um, no. Otherwise I would have to start the whole order all over again. At this point, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because if I refuse to do business with these people (Sweet Dreams Baby) then I will just have to pay full price somewhere else and still wait about 8 weeks. So, I started talking discounts. After all, I still want the chair....I wanted it 17 weeks ago when I ordered it the first time! So, it has been ordered again. They are rushing the order which means it should ship in 5 weeks....so I'm hoping it will be here for my birthday on February 2. In the meantime we will keep the grover chair until it gets in....and my debit card better see a credit of at least $175 sometime in the next few days!

For any pregnant people in the northeast Ohio area.....DO NOT do business with Sweet Dreams Baby! They just opened a 2nd store in the Canton area but it has the same owners so I'm boycotting there too. It would be one thing if the store was overly apologetic and offered to give me all sorts of stuff...but no. He didn't even bring up taking money off the next chair...I had to do that. What kind of business practice is that?! So, spread the word......boycott this store. If you don't you might not get the stuff for your kid until he/she is a toddler!

Ok, enough venting....I just still can't believe this crap!

By the way...it is snowing again.

You are so much nicer than I am...I would have strung him up by his toes and then beaten him with a ream of grover blue fabric until he said he was sorry. :) But I digress. I HOPE your new chair looks wonderful when it arrives! Just make sure that your little bundle of joy barfs all over the chair before you give it back...or maybe the kitties can put a chipmunk in it before it leaves. :) I hate stupid people.

Awww..your birthday is the same as Luke's. I just starting to look at chairs...I cannot believe how expensive they are. Good luck with yours, I cannot believe you haven't received it yet. Maybe it will arrive before I have my baby :)
