Supposed to have furniture delivered tomorrow and was supposed to get a confirming telephone call and email . . . but NOTHING! It's scheduled on the website, but this is the first time I've NOT heard from them when I purchased furniture. So, I decided to call them.

And am on terminal hold - 30 minutes so far which they said would be about how long I'd be waiting. Wonder what planet's time zone they're using. At least the music is okay. Just finished Mr. Blue Sky.

I guess with COVID, they're depending on people to call in. And wait for almost an hour.

Last time I was on hold for a furniture delivery it took longer than it would have if I just drove to the store, talked to them in person, and came back home. Which is what they ended up telling me to do anyway.

The warehouse is not open to the public, and that's where it's shipping from. I ordered the furniture in June. So glad to finally have it.
