Frustrating day....

So Quent and I bought some furniture on Thursday, and we were SOOO excited to get it today! We bought a loveseat and sofa with a coffee table and 2 endtables. The loveseat and sofa were to be delivered today and the rest not until May, which was fine. We just wanted something nice and new and comfy to sit on. Anyway, we got a call this morning around 8am from the delivery guy saying that he'd be here between 10 and 12. We have church at 11, so we thought we'd maybe miss an hour. By about 12:20pm we were wondering where our furniture was. We called the Brick and spoke to a lady who said she'd call the driver to see where he was. She said she'd call us back, and when she did (around 1pm) she told us that the delivery guy (the first one) saw our address and said that it wasn't in his area, so he gave our furniture to another driver. The second driver, though, didn't realize this until he was already out of the city. There apparently was no way for him to come back to our street, so all they could do was refund our delivery fee. THEN, when I continued to talk to the lady she told me that our sofa was actually here in the city, so we wouldn't have to wait until May for it. I asked what she meant (because we weren't waiting for the furniture, just the coffee table and end tables) and she said that our sofa was delivered to the city and we would be able to pick it up. Of course I was so upset since we thought that having to wait for one of our sofas wasn't going to be a problem. Anyway, to end this stupid frustrating story, we didn't get our furniture today and they say they'll deliver it on Tuesday. I've not heard many good things about The Brick, so I'll believe it when they come to my door. Needless to say we missed church and spent most of the day waiting and arguing on the phone. Not my idea of a good Sabbath day.
