Damaged Bookcase

We ordered a set of office tables for our home office. The set included two L-shaped desks, one for me and one for my husband, as well as a bookcase with sliding glass and wood paneled doors. It's like a hutch and a bookcase had a child. They delivered it last Saturday, and we were so excited because we have lots of books and other office supplies that we're ready to house in that bookcase. However, one of the delivery guys told us that one of the sliding door is damaged - a piece that makes it roll smoothly on the track came off during transport. Since this is part of a set and customized, they are not allowed to repair it right there and then. At least that's what he said. He told us to call our representative and they should be able to send someone to fix it for free. My husband wasn't happy and decided to go into the showroom to show the salesman the piece that got broken. They told him that they will send someone to fix it by middle of this week.

Does it seem odd that they couldn’t just fix it right then? I know what he said, but it makes no sense to me why he couldn’t take care of it in that moment. I guess the important thing is that it will be fixed.

I have the same concerns, but my husband is already giving them the third degree so I figure me trying to do the same will not help. At least they will fix it free of charge. Let's just wait and see if they will actually do it.

That would be frustrating, but at least they will fix it for you.

Yes, so now instead of getting the rest of our stuff ready, we have to postpone it as it makes no sense to fill up the bookcase with our stuff when it needs some fixing first.

Hope it gets repaired soon. I too don't like receiving damaged stuff.

It's very disappointing when something gets broken during delivery. I hope that the salesman follows through and someone fixes the problem for you quickly. Your desk and bookcase sound really nice,

They are a matching set, and it is a bummer that they damaged it during delivery.

Thank you, and yes it's a bummer. But what can we do, we'll just see if they will be true to their word and will send someone this week.

@RubyHawk I really hope so, but I am anxious because I know that some people will take advantage of any chance they can get to charge more.

@Raine38 They shouldn’t, it happened before it was delivered.
