(Edited to add: Chris finally got an answer!! The crib will be in our possession by May 19th. Yay!!)

Are there any curse words that long? Well, if there are, I've said them. I think I've said every curse word known to man in the past 24 hours. And, of course, even if you don't want to know, I'm going to tell you.

The crib. Oh....the crib. Here's the rundown on the situation thusfar:

* Crib ordered on 3/31/08
* Crib estimated shipping dated was 4/14/08.
* Allowance for shipping was 4-7 days.
* That would've put the crib at our house early last week.
* No crib as of 5/5/08.

So...Chris called yesterday...TWICE. He called right before lunch. The woman put Chris on hold and called the supplier. She got the answering service. They were going to contact the supplier (the crib was a supplier-shipped item) and find out if it had been shipped or whatever and they were going to CALL US BACK. By 4:45pm, no call back. So, Chris called again. He talked to a different woman who seemed so very shocked that we were not in receipt of our crib. She said that she would try and call, but she didn't think that she'd be able to reach anyone because of the time. Well...if you can't reach anyone at lunchtime OR at 4:45pm, when can you reach them?? Just give ME the effin' number and you can bet that I'll reach them. I'm not sure if the JCP people are factoring in a different timezone for the supplier. Stupids.

I checked the JCP website this morning to see if the crib we ordered is still available. And it is NOT. I will be beyond pissed if it's been discontinued and I haven't been informed. I will, out of principle, return ALL of the furniture that has already been delivered to me for 100% refund and buy elsewhere. This, my friends, is bullshit. And I'm just about done.
