The ottomon was delivered this afternoon ............ pretty fast dispatch!
The faux suede is as expected and it does match the headboard on my bed. There's only one problem. It arrived separately to the wheeled base. I rang CS and was told that they'd both been dispatched at the same time (the email included information about both items, as did the order details, so I assumed they'd come together.) The wheels are apparently still at the depot in Wolverhampton (I think that's where she said they were) but I can expect them to arrive by 9th January at the latest. Fabulous - not!
I don't usually write reviews on products but I will review this one. I wonder if they will print it when I mention the wheels fiasco? It might just be me and my logical mind, but I'd have thought that they could have shoved the whole order into one box, especially considering the P&P.
It's ridiculous to package them separately, what a stupid idea!
I agree and I mentioned that in my review (the separate dispatch bit .......... I didn't like to put stupid incase they didn't submit it .) I gave that as the reason that I was only giving the ottoman 4 stars. The ottoman is good quality so I didn't want to criticise it as an item. I submitted the review about an hour ago. I'll let you know what happens and also whether the wheels actually arrive.
Well ............ the wheeled base was delivered a short time ago.
There is now a 5 star review about the ottoman, which wasn't there this morning, but I haven't had the email from QVC to say whether or not mine will be accepted. CS told me, when I rang them, that the wheeled bit would be with me by 9th January so I mentioned that in my review as they were dispatched at the same time.
What's the betting that the so-called independent group, who make the decisions about the reviews, deem mine to be a tad 'controversial' (which it wasn't) because the 9th January is not the promised 3-5 working days from when I placed the order.
