The Playstructure Fiasco

Well, it's Thursday today. I have actually had a great week off. I've gone to a couple of massage sessions and the weather has just been beautiful. I have also been doing some pretty hefty spring cleaning - it sucks, but once it's done one room at a time, there is some sort of strange pleasure in it all. I often wonder how rooms in my house get so cluttered all of a sudden. Oh yeah, I have an almost three-year old who has taken over the house!!!

Well, the title of this blog is about the now infamous playstructure. We all thought it would be up by now, but Gord is actually only picking it up this morning. After I had to track down the business owner about what was going on with the arrival of the system after 3 1/2 weeks of waiting to hear anything, we were all set to pick it up this past Sunday. The guy wanted us to be there by 3:00pm, and we were there at 2:50pm. The problem? He had left for the day. So two more days of trying to track him down through head offices in the US and in Canada, he finally returns my call Wednesday morning. Now anyone who knows me well enough knows that I don't have a very long fuse for really bad customer service. I'm pretty sure the guy is glad it's Gord going to pick up the playstructure and not me. So, anyone looking to buy a nice Rainbow Playsystem playstructure, do yourself a favour and buy it out of another sales centre. Avoid Ottawa's sale centre at all costs. I'm sure the playstructure itself will be great, but it was really quite a battle to actually get it into our hands.

Hmmmm, I think I better run now. It would appear that Minnie has barged her way into the house. So much for Spring cleaning!!
