Let down .....

Arranged 10 days ago, for someone to take away my bed today, by 10.30. Argos delivering new one 12pm on .....
The guy just didn't show up to take my bed, I phoned him 3 times this morning, no answer. Just left me in the lurch, even though I checked with him on Friday, that all was OK for today !
After a hectic morning getting the bed ready for collection, that happens. I then had to find another source and they were great - now we are still waiting for the new bed from Argos, looks like a late night getting that ready .....

Re: Let down .....

What a nuisance! But I might give him the benefit of the doubt - If you had the thumbs up from him on Friday maybe something happened to him and it was unavoidable?

I honestly think he had a more lucrative job come in, 'someone' could have called - even now .......

Well if that's the case at least you know not to use him again and maybe you can spread the word...

Re: Let down .....

That wasn't very nice of him, Patsy, especially if he took the coward's way out by avoiding your calls and not letting you know he was no longer interested.

Hope the new one has arrived by now.

Re: Let down .....

I think before spreading the muck about him I might ring him tomorrow just in case he really did have a good reason. What if he had an accident over the weekend and is in hospital, for instance?

Well I sure hope you new one arrived in time for tonight Patsy! If you're late here tomorrow, we'll know you were cozy and having a lie in!.

I doubt it Ania - its a business and 'someone' there could have made a call to me ......

Mups - yes it finally came - it was an awful and tiring day, but its over with now, except for the after affects, still very tired and painful. All part of life gal
