Walmart and the Crib

Walmart and the Crib

20130729-230359.jpg

As you may know, we are expecting our new baby soon. My due date is August 12th. As I was preparing for her arrival, I ordered a crib from Walmart. I really wanted to be able to go to the store and pick it up, but this particular crib had to be ordered online. So, I patiently waited.

Once it finally got to our house, I was so excited! I rushed to the door and let the delivery guy put the box inside. I asked my husband to open it, only to find that the crib was beautiful and…brown…cherry wood and not what I ordered.

That was such a disappointment. I called Walmart to let them know and here’s what happened. I got a $20 credit towards another purchase and they told me that there were no more like it in either color. I was also notified that if they sent me out another one it could not be expedited and there would be no guarantee that it would be the color that I ordered.

Can you say “disappointed again…”

I really like shopping at Walmart, but this has but a sour taste in my mouth. This is no time for mistakes. My little girls’ will be here soon and I can put her room together because its missing a crib and changing table.

Now I have to figure out something else to do.

Oh the agony and the horror…I am upset, but moving forward…thanks Walmart…

    Are you going to keep it or send it back and get it from another store?

      I decided to take it back to the store. My girls are going to share a room and their furniture is white. The cherry brown one was pretty, but it didn’t go with the rest of the room.
