If it makes you feel better, when Aleks and Amy moved into this house, they had to do a fair bit of renovation and they ordered a new fridge and stove. Amy's dad and brother came up to help witn the renovations and were supposed to be here for the delivery of the fridge and stove. However, Amy's dad was convinced that the paint on the walls was latex when it was oil (or vice versa) and didn't believe Amy when she told him otherwise. So he decided to take a sample from the paint (chipped from the wall, I think) and go to Home Depot to verify. He took her brother with him. Naturally, he decided to do this while he was supposed to be waiting for the delivery. The delivery guys came, no one was here, and Aleks and Amy had to another 50$ or more to get the delivery guys to come again. Oh, and I ordered my futon from the Brick (about a 15 minute walk from here) and had to pay 75$ for delivery because it wouldn't fit in the car. I don't like deliveries. Hope yours goes better!
It ended up alright, nobody replied to my delivery reschedule request, but they called the day before and said it was ok for any adult to be there to receive delivery... so Debsey sat at my place for a while ;) I just had to get up earlier than normal to drop my keys in her mailbox before going to work.
I haven't set anything up yet though, still need new speakers and I should install those before putting the tv up on the shelf.
