Refrigerator - Part Deux

So...here's the update on the refrigerator. I think it goes without saying that we are still a slave to the ice machine.

And so it begins:

On January 28th I ordered this from Lowe's. At that time, I was assured that it would arrive in their store on February 4th and we had delivery set up for Sunday the 6th.

On the expected date of delivery, we called to confirm, so that we wouldn't be sitting around all day, if they weren't going to bring it. After several phone calls we were informed that the fridge did NOT arrive on the truck slated to arrive on the 4th, HOWEVER it would indeed arrive on the truck on Sunday, and would be delivered Tuesday evening. GREAT...TERRIFIC....Tuesday will be fine.

Of course we are already the butt of jokes from all of our friends, so what's the difference now. I'm pretty sure they now all have bets placed in squares based on when the fridge will show up and if it will even fit....if they do, I hope it's $5 a square.

On Tuesday morning I call up my friends at Lowe's to confirm the status of our delivery, since Mike will have to take time off of work to effect this delivery.

I first attempt to contact Marcus the "delivery supervisor" who is unavailable.

I am then passes along to the Assistant Store Manager, Jodie. After telling him of my refrigeration woes, he attempts to shake me off by using the old "let me get your information and I'll call you back" technique. Well, I'm too smart for that, I told him I would hold.

After thirty minutes, and several phone calls, Jodie assures me that the shipping company who currently has possession of this item tells him that it is in the Houston area, and will be delivered to their store that very day and that a delivery would be possible as soon as tomorrow (today). Fabulous. A refrigerator....That was slated to arrive at my location between 8:30 and 9am.

Again, Mike had to take off form work this morning for this to happen. So, first thing this morning I called to confirm we were "a go" for this morning.

No. At this point we really don't know anything. Other than the people at Lowe's are incompetent and we may never have a refrigerator.

Please stay tuned for the next update in the Refrigerator Trilogy....
