.............2 weeks.................argh!

Post by :FI:Nellip » Thu Jun 23, 2005 9:37 am

6 months ago we ordered some new wardrobes for our bedroom. We got this guy recommended who builds to order and you can have them made to fit the space on the wall.

He comes along takes the measurements, we give him some money for raw materials and he says they will be ready in about 6 weeks.

6 weeks comes and goes, no wardrobes, but we were not that bothered as we were decorating the bedroom and the bathroom and it was not finished. After 3 months the frames for the wardrobes finally arrive, but no doors. They will be ready next month he says.

Next month comes along, no doors. He has done his back in, has had to move his workshop, etc etc.

Last night I manage to get hold of him again - very sorry says he, and, you've guessed it, the doors will definitely be ready in 2 weeks............

Now where have I heard that before?

Nope never heard that before. In the US it's 'we'll deliver in 4 to six weeks' or 'try back again thursday', or 'you'll have to speak to the boss, he'll be back thursday, or 'all refunds come from corprate headquaters in 4 to six weeks'

Did they pull the 'oh, you wanted doors?, that's a special order, that will take another 4 to six weeks."
