You wanna know something else that bugs me?

When we were buying our furniture from Ashley's Furniture Homestore, the nice sales lady told us that someone would be contacting us within 48 hours to set up a delivery date, and the furniture should be delivered within 5 days. Great! 48 hours come and go.......today, 144 hours later, a lady from the Birmingham Ashley's calls to set up the delivery. Our conversation:

Lady: "I'm calling from Ashley's Furniture Homestore to set up your delivery."
Me: "Great!"
Long pause
Me: "Soooo....when can you deliver it?"
Lady: "The soonest we can deliver will be Wednesday."
Me: "Oh, that won't work. My husband and I work during the day. It will have to be on the weekend."
Lady: "Umm, well, we will only be in town next week on Wednesday or Friday."
Me: "WELL we won't be there then! We need to schedule for a weekend!"
Lady: "Well the SOONEST be can be there will be the 21st."
Me: "Fine."

So our delivery time went from 5 days to 3 weeks. What a crock.
