Furniture Woes

 So, getting furniture is not going well.  I bought a whole house full of stuff (see last post) and went out of my way to get everything that said 'arrives in 12 days'.  I ended up not getting the exact things I wanted in favor of getting it all the same day.

Watch your step

The next morning I get three emails for my 3 orders.  Two will arrive between April 15-21 and one April 4.  😑

Um, yeah, we only have the Air BnB until April 4.  WTF.  

While I was ordering stuff a chat bubble popped up and an actual worker from Dico started talking to me.  First to give me a coupon code.  But I already had a default coupon code there for 5% off.  She said to use hers.

So my 5% off coupon was replaced with her 5% off coupon.  😑  Her insistence that I use her code for each of my orders tells me that this was her commission code.  But that's fine because she gave me her WhatsApp (all business is done through WhatsApp here) so I can bitch about the shipping dates to her.

I complained that it said 12 days and even the April 4th shipment is longer than that.  Note:  I accidentally broke up the order into 3 orders because I was too stupid to update the shopping cart when I tried to get multiples of the same thing, and I forgot a lot of shit the first and second time around.  So I got a 500 peso shipping fee three times instead of the one time I should have gotten it if I'd ordered everything at once.

She said 'Mexico' for the date issue.  Then she gave me a link to pay another 500 pesos for expedited shipping to get stuff sooner than the dates they emailed.  😑

So we'll get everything sooner apparently, but we won't know when until Martes (Tuesday) because Monday is a holiday and it's Sunday right now.  

The worst case:  We'll get one bed and the sofabed we bought for the 'guest room' so we'll still be able to get out of the Air Bnb as scheduled and sleep at the new house.  Without anywhere to sit beside that bed and couch.  😤

Meantime I'm trying to order other things for the new house so we don't have to wait weeks for stuff once we move but all my credit cards decided to stop working.  

It's a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme (as long as we don't have to get a hotel due to no beds after the Air Bnb kicks us out).  

Someone warned me it would hard to furnish a whole house but I thought I found a cheat code.  Oh well.
