Excuse me sir, which way to the loo?
So I ordered a new dual-flush toilet and pedestal sink for the downstairs half-bath about 3 weeks ago in anticipation of finishing the bathroom project before the end of April. The items where supposed to be ready for pick-up from Lowe's on April 14th so I spent most of the weekend prior to the 14th sanding drywall and painting the half-bath to get it ready. Well, the 14th came and went without any word from Lowe's so I called them on the 15th and was told that the pieces would be in on the 17th. I stopped by the store on my way home from work on the 17th and was told that my order was "still in transit" and to check back tomorrow. So, I stopped by on the 18th on my way home from work and was told this time that the toilet and sink had been lost in transit by the supplier...which basically meant that the supplier never shipped my stuff. Lowe's was pretty nice about it and called me the next day to say that they were contacting the supplier to have them re-ship my order and to expedite the shipment. They also mentioned a discount on my order. I was hoping to get my order last Friday (April 25th) but when I called Lowe's, I was told that the supplier was waiting on the toilet to come in and that my target arrival date in the store is now May 5th...so much for expediting the order. In the meantime, I've been spending my weekend hanging out with Hudson, Suzanne and the dogs so I can't really complain too much about not being able to work on the bathroom. Now I'm just hoping that Lowe's holds up their promise of a discount.
