schestowitz> Jul 01 18:37
schestowitz> Again, please accept my apologies for the delay.Jul 01 18:37
schestowitz> Good Morning.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitz> Jul 01 18:50
schestowitz> Once again please accept our apologies, unfortunately as previously mentioned the individual you previously dealt with took your money and did not place an order or indeed notify us that this had been done so there was no record of this. He is no longer working for us and we dealing with this. Jul 01 18:50
schestowitz> Jul 01 18:50
schestowitz> Your chair will be arriving in our warehouse in Northampton from the factory this afternoon. I will check with logistics on the delievry to you. Can you please advise if you still have the loan chair that we will also need to collect?Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzHi Arron,Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI am going to be frank with you.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzThis whole chair has been a bloody nightmare to me.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI wish I never entered the store.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI spent not only endless hours/days thinking about this, at times with concerns, sometimes with anger and sheer fury.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI also practically spent time doing things to pursue this, ranging from calls to E-mail to visits to the store. I've long count of how much time, let alone anger, was expended on this.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzIt was a nightmare.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzOnly after a month, after I came to the store physically and demanded a refund I was given a loaned chair -- one that practically hundreds if not thousands of people already sat on.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzThis was not the chair I ordered.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI was all along treated like dirt.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI never had ANY of my E-mails answered.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzAnd you know what the worse part is?Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzOne time when I came to the store (after 3 weeks I think) My. Philips was DOING A WORKOUT in the showroom... in his GYM kit. During working hours... on a weekday.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzHe was 'kind' enough to open the door for me.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzAfter I told him my legs had swollen, due to not having that chair, he then was 'kind' enough to give me... something.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzHe never communicated with me afterwards.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzHe had a whole month before lock-down.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzDid he respond to my mails? Never.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzI even sent some follow-ups.Jul 01 18:50
schestowitzNo reply.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzThen, when I came to the shop, guess what he told me.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzHe didn't get my emails.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzLiar.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzLater he even admitted that he had gotten them.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzWhat a nerve.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzThis isn't a rotten apple. He's the STORE MANAGER.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzYou guys gave this man the highest position there.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzHe was lying to my face.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzI was polite, I was fast to buy, I gave him no hassleJul 01 18:51
schestowitzI was also EXCEEDINGLY patient.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzDon't believe me?Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzCheck my digital communication. A subset of the whole...Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzAnd mind the date.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzSo he had times to do workouts while at work (not exactly a sanitary thing to be doing near a showroom for showroom), but not a moment to send me back an e-mail, not even an acknowledement. Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzI lost count of how many mails I sent him. Maybe half a dozen.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzWhen someone  never replies to you at some stage you ask yourself, why bother?Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzSo here we are...Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzJulyJul 01 18:51
schestowitzI bought the chair in FEBRUARY! I paid in full, upfront.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzI don't want to blame you guys also for health trouble, but I had to go see my GP and then two specialists (plus visits for blood tests etc.) due to swollen feet. I bought the chair due to discomfort with my old chair. And the corporate neglect made things so much worse. I can never get back my health, or my time... I run sites that attract millions of people per month, and I was tempted to write rants about all this. But didn't...Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzSo now you want the used chair (that loads of people sat on at your shop) back... only to replace it with what I actually ordered... 5 months ago almost!Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzI demand some sort of goodwill compensation. I will never get my time back, my health back, undo the temper... this has been preying on my mind for  a week, hence the message I sent this morning.Jul 01 18:51
schestowitzWhat you think will be a fair compromise is up to you. I, myself, wish to just forget this thing ever happened. Maybe I'll warn others, too.Jul 01 18:51
