When two people with different tastes come together to
remodel, say a bathroom, choosing the right elements for the space can be a
challenge. So when these two people
finally agree on something it’s somewhat of a hallelujah moment.
Sometimes, the elements aren’t available locally, so
thankfully we have the internet and a credit card. One-click and your product comes to you
(sometimes in just two days!!). God, how
I love technology!
In this whole process though we have discovered that there
is strife
in the shipping world which has caused a HUGE delay in shipping our lights and
mirrors. As of today, we really have no
idea when these items will arrive. It
could be next week, it could be next month.
Our mirrors are sitting on a port in some huge shipping container in
California just waiting to be sent to our seller in New York. Once it gets to New York, they will be shipped
to our home in Texas. Our lights are
sitting in the same port until they are shipped to the company that distributes
them and after they receive them and do their ‘quality control check’ they will
ship them to our local store for pickup.
I completely understand the union workers need to improve on things or the demand of higher pay, but regardless this is very frustrating to us as
consumers and I am sure to the sellers as well.
In the meantime, the hubby and I are trying to find
alternate lighting just in case, which means we can’t decide on anything...again, and we
are back to square one. My husband
admits he is a light snob, and I am really urging him to think outside the
box. When we finally find some that we
like, they are showing as backordered until November. We haven’t even began to look for different
mirrors. It took us months to agree on
the ones we picked out so the desire to go down that road is small.
So, two very small details in the grand scheme of things, but
never the less frustrating and now we are waiting for a “light that never comes" and reflect on unseen mirrors.
