Nursery Furniture
Hi Ladies
Has anyone else had a nightmare trying to order nursery furniture?
We went this morning to Babies r us as we'd seen some online that we liked but the 2 grandma's wanted to buy a bit each and we'd buy the other bit. They told us they only stocked the cots/cotbeds in store, so she phoned to see if the other stuff was in stock, it wasn't and apparently you can't place an order unless the stuff is actually in stock.
I got very upset with them as they were rather rude about it (hormone's did not help and I did throw bit of a fit...ops
Then went to Mothercare world and they were crap too. My mum wanted to order the Travel System, pay for it and pick it up week or two before due date (am 27 weeks pregnant at the mo) we were told the one we want was not on the list where you are able to do this and we would either have to take it away with us today or order online nearer the time. My mum is supersticious and doesn't want us to have the pram until she is born, so she dug her heels in. Thing that got me was the exact same system but in a yukky greeny brown colour was on the list!!!!
So threw another fit in Mothercare and ended up walking out of there leaving hubby, my mum & his mum having to deal with the crap sales assistant red faced after my outburst!
Ended up going to Next and ordering all the furniture from there and will be here in 2 weeks.
Anyone else had problems with this type of thing?

She sounds GREAT!!! She should just be bloody happy for you! How rude! I hope she grows up when your baby arrives, she supposed to be a Grandma for goodness sake! Yes, she sounds like ideal candidate for Mothercare
Sorry everyone is having such a crap time with shops/assistants - so are we! we ordered our furniture from that well known catalogue shop in Jan and it was supposed to be here b4 the end of Feb. We got a letter saying it's not in (problem with supplier!) and might not be in stock til march 21st. Baby is due in early April!!!! I rang and complained but there's nothing they can do. i now see though that the same set on line is not displaying a message to say out of stock so i guess they're just carrying on taking people's money regardless grrrrrrr! :evil: Fingers crossed the furniture will be delivered soon cos i want to finish the nursery and start putting things for the baby in drawers instead of plastic bags! Take care y'all x
