Hypertension
Yay! We managed to take all the bits and pieces of the grill, along with the packaging (which I had to dig out of the trash and recycling bins. I actually almost feel bad for the poor guy who has to deal with all the styro that is now poo scented), back to the store. Turns out, the guy who assembles the grills in the store had found four more of the same model with the same damage. We decided to take one that was already put together instead of taking a chance on another closed box. After a bit of disassembling, creative loading, and reassembling, we have a working grill. And it only took a couple extra hours of our day.
HOWEVER.
The annoyance gods giveth, and the annoyance gods taketh away.
Last week I ordered three things from amazon.com. These three things were to be shipped together, to qualify me for free (snail's pace) shipping. All good. I got a shipping notice saying they were all coming in one package, via USPS, here's your tracking info that says what we just said, have a nice day.
And that's how I got my Baconnaise.
In a box with a receipt that said 3 OF 3.
And nothing else.
Amazon shows my one box delivered, USPS hasn't deposited any other goodies on my doorstep in the last two days, and now I will spend another nap time trying to figure out who gets yelled at next.
