Done

Last night the Home Depost site said that the machine and pedestal could be delivered Saturday but would cost me $700 more than what I paid the local place. BUT also, the site said that I could buy a pedestal with a drawer which is what I really wanted. I had questions and also the site had issues with my zip code so I couldn't buy it from there anyway. I decided if I had to, I would pay $500 over if I could get it next week.

I went to the store and found Darren who was efficient and sharp. He tried one weather comment and when I didn't bite, he was all biz. Props, Darren. He looked up to confirm the pedestal with the drawer was no bueno for my machine.

BUT the machine itself went on sale today! So the machine and the pedestal delivered and installed and my old machine taken away with taxes and whatever else comes to $250 over what I paid the other place. And they could bring it Tuesday.

Darren had a sale.

I did pick Wednesday because I have the Mariner game on Tuesday and I couldn't get a guarantee of a morning delivery. So. Wednesday. New Machine.

Darren said that this year, they have missed two appointments - one was a truck issue and one was an injured installer but otherwise they are there when they say they are.

Now it's time to send an email to the oh so nice Appliance guy and tell him no thank you.

While it's not the Appliance Guy's fault, I hope he will learn from this. And yay, you'll be able to do laundry at home.

Go Darren! That's too bad that the stand with the drawer won't work with your machine - but at least he was able to verify it wouldn't and save you the trouble of getting it and finding out at install time that it wouldn't work!
