sears delivery

in our former post about all of the booty we got from Thailand.... we neglected to mention the wee issue we had with Sears and "delivering" our appliances.

That same busy unloading day was supposed to be the day where all the appliances came. At the appointed time, the truck did arrive, but the guys inside wouldn't drive down to the house (parked at the mango tree) and could offer no solutions for getting our stuff into the house.

They sat parked there for 45 minutes, with bad attitudes, doing nothing. How LAME!!!

So the delivery company (not actually Sears) sent a different crew out a couple of days later (after many phone calls, of course).
Unfortunately the truck that came to pick up the Thailand container had trouble making it up our road with the empty container providing no traction. 45 minutes of up and down and the road was pretty busted up.

The new delivery guy called and was worried he wouldn't make it back up with his empty truck. So I offered to drive there with my 4wd truck and take the stuff down in that. Jodi was visiting and she came with me.

It took 3 trips. Here's one of the loads.
While the guys were loading, I noticed this GB's very creative solution to the lack of antenna issue....
