The Furniture Mart has f-ed over my family so many times over the years that they're not even worth dealing with, especially when their prices really aren't that much better than everywhere else. |

See all the problems sex creates? You should've remained a virgin.

The phone just doesn't get it done. Go there. Demand to speak to a manager. Get his name and phone number. Hold HIS ass responsible. Call him for a few days after just to make sure he is on your page. Tell them you want a discount, and a sizable one. If not, cancel the order, demand $ back, and tell everyone you know that they suck.

This is SOP for NFM. They've outgrown their own usefulness. Every piece of furniture you ordered has 10 sets of hands involved in the process - that's a lot of room for screwups.
I'd send it back, send them an invoice for your time and fuel and shop elsewhere. Besides, who spends tons of money on baby furniture? They'll outgrow it in a couple of years. I just assembled our crib today. It's one of those kind people pitch when they're through. But it's only gonna be in my house for 2 years and then I'll pass it on to the next frugal couple. |

Sounds like you need to go to NEB Furniture Mart and pick up the damn thing yourself to assure you get the right piece. Should you have the time, money and appropriate vehicle to do so

Be sure you're at the Mart when you give birth, then claim the set they have showing on the floor as your own. The people that work there can bring you soup and cookies over the years.
If not that, demand a full refund for the piece they can't seem to get right, and be sure to give a supervisor a good yelling at. Probably won't do much in the end, but you'll feel better in the short term. And maybe try going out there and explaining to a supe that since their distribution center can't get anything right, you would like the floor model, and would happily return the wrong item to them. My wife's cousin works out there, and trust me, they **** shit up all the time. |

I would be getting a serious discount on this order.
Returning everything at this point would probably require even more work but would be a last resort, and it provides you leverage. |
