We bought a fridge at Lowe's for next day delivery, requiring a four-hour stay-at-home committment. Well, we waited all day for a call, and the fridge showed up at 7:15 pm. Grr. By noon, wouldn't they have known that our shipment was slated for the last spot of the day? Of course they would. Did they call? No. Losers. As God as my witness, I'll never shop there again.
The move is a whole other story. Picked up a day late; delivered two days late. I had to help move in the piano (isn't that why we hired movers in the first place?), and the couch got ripped because they really didn't cover it very well.
But we love our place. It feels so spacious, and we have a piano! Our living room has vaulted ceilings and a skylight and a deck, so we can live off of natural sunlight.
Tomorrow we hit the beach, and then it's off to work I go!
Oh, and we saw the Newport Beach temple yesterday. We live soooo close. I'm lovin' it.

So I have officially added Mayflower moving and Lowe's to my "do-not-shop there, even if under extreme duress" list. Both places know nothing about customer service.

I thought you were getting the fridge at Home Depot with the 10% off coupon I've been saving for you. I won't shop at Lowe's either. My experience with Lowe's is no matter what you go there for, they will be out of it. Or not have it. And get an attitude when you ask for it. Jonathan concurs.

Oh, I didn't know you had that coupon. Save it for us; I have some credit there and we want to purchase some greenery to spruce up our new abode.

Oh, yeah we ordered that coupon.

I saw on the USPS address change thingy that you can "order" a coupon. I don't want to wait 4-6 weeks to get it though! Good thing I told OBRA Homes today we wanted the $100 gift cert to Home Depot and not Lowe's if they are that bad.
