Wait a while and wait some more

I found a nearby place that would fix the windshield on my van. Not only that, they would come pick it up, and then bring it back. And they were a bit less expensive than the national chain. I asked about the time, etc. I was told they would pick the van up at 7:30 a.m. and return it by 11:30 a.m. It is a good thing the afternoon appointment I had got rescheduled to yesterday. First of all, they did not come until 8:30 this morning. I texted to find out why they were late and the office manager or whatever asked me to text the address cause she was out on a call and they did not have my address. So they started an hour late. Supposed to text me on their way back as I was fitting caring for Bob around their hours. I never got the text. It was after 1:30 when they got here. Right when I was trying to wake Bob up and give him medicine. Of course. It still was nice to have door service. They are a busy crew. Price was about $130 less than the next lowest price. I just get impatient waiting.

You did get impatient. The most important thing was the job was done in a convenient way.

That’s very unprofessional, but when it comes down to it, the cheaper price was worth it. Unless it shot up your blood pressure tremendously.

I think that I would have got impatient waiting as well Heather. They were an hour late, And then two hours later than agreed bringing it back I suppose the lower price was good

I'm glad you got it fixed and didn't have to leave home. Win! Big win with it being cheaper!

Maybe they have good reasons for not sticking to a schedule but it's still frustrating.
