what would you do?

carl669 went on a bit of a rant said

we ordered a bed frame and headboard/pillowboard from a company that is known for 1-2 month shipping times, but 1/3rd the price ($600) of a similar frame from another, well marketed company ($1800). fine, we understood that it would take a bit for delivery. ordered in june, and estimated delivery of mid-august.

as mid-august approached, i checked the order and the estimate was now mid-september. decided to cancel the order and buy from somewhere else. chatted with a customer rep and was told i could not cancel because it was a pre-order and those are not cancellable. rep then send a screenshot that is supposedly my confirmation email and shows “pre-order”. looked on the product page and there is ZERO indication the frame is pre-order. went back and looked through my order screenshots and email. again, zero indication of pre-order. relayed this info to them along with my screenshots. they say they still can’t cancel and offer me a $100 credit instead.

considered doing a chargeback on my credit card, but talked to the wife and we decided to wait until mid-september. we finally get tracking around sept 7 and frame shows up a week later.

now, here’s the kicker. they sent us TWO frames and TWO headboards, all under the same tracking number. so, i go to their site and look at my order. it now shows we ordered 2 frames and 2 headboards, at a cost of $1200… incredibly suspicious. i go back and check my credit card statement and it only shows the original $600 payment in june.

so, what would you do?

  1. call the company and tell them to come pick up the extras

OR

B. sell the extra frame and headboard

eta: we’ve already done one of the above choices. just curious as to what my fellow mehricans would have done.
