Dillards or dillards department store I purchased a henredon king size bed for my son and paid store delivery and upon delvery they screwed boards too tight and broke the side rails and frame they taped it up and left without telling me, Internet

After painfully reading your longwinded borderline illiterate post, I have come to the conclusion that you simply do not know how to handle things and do not understand the situation.

The first thing you need to do is verify whether or not those "kids" that did the delivery are actually Dillards EMPLOYEES or if they are CONTRACTORS. This information will determine how you proceed.

If they are contractors, you would have to file a claim with them, against their insurance.

My question is WHY would you not supervise anyone working in your home? Also, why would you spend that kind of money and not inspect the assembly job BEFORE signing for the delivery? That's just plain stupid.

Why would you even consider getting half of your money back? That's just plain stupid.

Did you pay cash or did you put this on a credit card? If you paid on a credit card, you just dispute the charge. Your rights are protected by federal law on this.

If your very first phone call did not rectify the problem, you should have had the common sense to STAY OFF THE PHONE!!

All communications past the first phone call need to be in writing! Sent via CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECIEPT REQUESTED.

And, for that kind of money I would have immediately filed a lawsuit. That would get their attention.

You should also learn how to write so you at least appear intelligent. "Duck" tape? No, it's "Duct" tape. "Seen"? What kind of inbred hillbilly speak is that? We SAW. Sentence run on, etc. Very hard to read. How about a little paragraph use?

I was very offended by the corny comments embred hillbilly, illiterate, etc. I happened to be up 5:00 am when I had posted. First you asked if it was contractors that delivered for dilllards. I was told it's dillards own delivery crew. I also wanted to clear up why I wouldn't supervise the delivery and assembling of the furniture. The fact of the matter is I had two different bedroom sets being delivered and assembled in two different rooms one upstairs and one downstairs. I stayed in the downstairs room supervising the one guy and the other guy went upstairs and I can't be in two places at once. I should be able to have a professional delivery team perform their work with integrity & not be babysitted. Shortly after the guy completed the downstairs the guy went upstairs to assist in the assmbly of the other bedroom set. They came down and asked me to examine the furniture for any marks tears chips etc. I looked over the furniture never lifting the mattress and signed their paper. Then you asked why I asked for half. I asked for half because they said this bed is discontinued and I have the whole matching set and don't want to break it up. The frame was specially made for this bed and so not just any frame would work. I made a mistake saying duck tape it's not a word I use frequently. These guys had no right being deceptive tightening the screws to the point it split the frame and side rails.They tried to cover up their mistake by wrapping duct tape around the boards and placing the mattress over it. I'll send them a certified letter and see if I get a response, if not I'll hire an attorney!

 ..why did Steve feel the need to attack you so viciously?

This was not a high school book report that required grading..but a legitimate complaint.

You paid good money from a supposedly reputable company and they sent over what you would expect to be professionals to set the furniture up. Instead, the sock monkeys damaged it and then went through measures to hide said damage..surely this is complaint worthy?

As I read the report, I had no problem reading or understanding it. I noticed acceptable sentence structure. I noticed paragraphs. I did not notice any unbearable run on sentences or poor grammar to the degree that required insulting you. And I know plenty of people who think duct tape is "duck" tape..who cares? A couple of typos and spelling errors...wow, how tough is life?

It did not take away any credibility or merit from this report. I imagine if someone had any trouble reading or comprehending this report, they may be on certain mind altering substances. I would imagine if this report upset anyone uninvolved to this degree, they may be in some serious need of counseling/anger management/rehabilitation etc.

I would agree..if they do not take care of this to your satisfaction.. sue their asses. In the worst case you can try small claims court which in most states my limit the amount to $5,000. However, when they receive the legal letterhead they may then know you mean business and offer to settle this with you directly rather then deal with a court date which they know they will lose.

"seen the duck tape"  No, it's saw the duct tape.  How could someone that stupid afford a $12000 bed? Spend some of that money on some basic English lessons.

Really? "embred"?? Did you mean "inbred"? FYI...No inbreeding in my family, and no one in my family is a "hillbilly". Where did you get that??

The bottom line here is that YOU failed to PROPERLY inspect your furniture BEFORE signing for it. That is the LEGAL issue here, REGARDLESS of the "reason"?

Then, for being so "intelligent" you really didn't know how to handle this to get a satisfactory resolution in a timely manner.

If you charged the purchase to your Dillards charge, just dispute the charge. Done. Full refund, return the defective/damaged items.

You ASSUMED that the delivery guys were Dillards employees. For being so smart, you don't know the importance of this distinction as to whether or not the delivery crew were employyees of Dillards or independent contractors. MOST major stores use contractors for delivery and set up of furniture and appliances.

It seems like you have more money than sense. This I get from the point you made where you would have accepted half of your money back. That's just plain stupid. I would demand, repair or replacement or full refund. That's it.

I can guarantee you that if I was in that position I would have had this issue resolved inside of a week. That is because I am agressive, and know my legal rights. You have to get in someone's face as soon as they give you the runaround.

The bottom line here is that you are clueless overall. That is the problem. Maybe YOU are the "embred" hillbilly!

 Interestingly enough, there is a brand of duct tape called Duck Tape, it has little duck as a logo.  Anyway, it certainly does not warrant a ridiculous attack. 

Compared to some of the absolutely undecipherable reports I have seen here, this one is just fine.

To the OP
I would be real upset too.  It's real easy to see what you should have done after the fact.  Your actions appeared pretty reasonable to me.

Thank you for taking the time to compliment and point out how immature these two individuals are. I believe that they have way too much time on their hands. I have done pointed out that these delivery guys were Dillards employees as well as that their all being tight lipped about the names or insurance co. I have dotted my I's and crossed my T's and can be very aggressive! I don't take this shit from anyone especially when it comes to my children. As I told that imbred from Bradenton I inspected to the best of my ability.if you take a car in for repair and you test drive the car & it apears to run so you  sign,however youdidn't see till later their was hidden damage. Same scenario you idiot I'm not God! You guys with these rude attacks need to get a life. I'm open to hear valuable advice or hear if someone has expierenced any problems from this company or been in a similar situation.

There IS a brand of "Duct" Tape named "DUCK TAPE" the pronounciation of DUCT TAPE has long been pronounced "DUCK TAPE" so the usage is common.

Grow up children, the Guy has a serious problem here.

 This Is to the op.  Steve and coast are morons'.

Thanks for taking the time to post the picture to set the facts straight! I agree with the other posts as well. These individuals have some psychological issues to become so obsessed over the word not being correctly spelled. This same imbred hillbilly spelled EMPLOYYEES wrong you don't see me attacking his english. I learned from my grandfather never wrestle with a pig in the mud,because you both are going to get dirty!!!! These two  inbred morons are trying to discredit my claim and detract the needed attention for valuable advice. If it tickles their fancy to pick out my mistakes then so be it. As for all of you other educated individuals thank you and I welcome any of your suggestions as how to proceed. Ps. You asked where did I get inbred hillbillys? The answer is you Steve from bradenton, you started this and if I spelled inbred wrong it's because I don't use this word nor do we have any in-breeding in our family unlike you!

 ..opening not only ONE..but TWO accounts with First Premier Bank.

I can't imagine trying to blame the kids.  I have seen beds in use for generations with lots of kids using them for trampolines and other kinds of abuse without breaking. Bed frames, especially expensive ones are not (or shouldn't be) that fragile.  This also does not address the 'duct/duck tape' repair.

I have had beds delivered and installed and if the bed is setup and appears OK I have never pulled up the mattress and box spring to see the frame (perhaps I should). 

I rarely recommend legal recourse but you may have no choice.  Unfortunate and disappointing.

If you want to split hairs, she should have said Duct brand tape.

Otherwise, the "item" was still Duct tape.

 

"seen the duck tape"  It is irritating but often spoken this way by many.  I thought it was a northern thing but, I guess not.

..duck, frog, antelope, leopluradon, turtle tape??   It does not make a difference. The report has merit..base it off the facts and not grammar or spelling or typos. Or..just be another troll who has no other use here other then grading elementary school compositions?

I have to hand it to you Ronny for addressing Steve's Two reports. I was looking over it and he attacked everyone that had an opinion. It seems Steve has major anger issues. Maybe it's small man syndrome! If he's married he probably has a wife that's dominating and he feels that this is chance to be the dominate one. I think it's hilarious that with my situation he said he would be in their face and already have handled this situation. Why couldn't he have done the same towards First Premier Bank? Ramjet your exactly right this Henredon furniture is crafted well and made of solid wood. If Dillards thought they weren't liable then why did they send a furniture repair company twice. They knew after realizing that it couldn't be repaired that they were up sh*t creek! I'm going to pursue them and bring them to justice. I have done some research and found out the name of their registered agent. I'm sending them a certified letter tomorrow. Ronny I agree with you fully it dosen't matter if I said buck tape or duct tape it's freaking tape. Inspector I guess it's pronounced here in the south as well.Guys thanks for backing me up against the morons!

 

Thanks,

Your Cajun Friend 

The best recourse for trolls is to completely ignore them and don't feed their ego by engaging them, that's what they exist for. I would be interested in how this turns out. If they can't fix it they need to replace it.

FYI... I settled the First Premier thing in 3 minutes. I closed the accounts. Done.

As far as being a "moron", at leat I can spell and form an intelligent response. You called me a hillbilly, but your post is full of hillbilly trailer trash slang and mistakes.

So, who really is the "hillbilly"?

The solutions here were so simple, but you couldn't grasp the basics on how to deal with this very simple issue. And you call me the moron.

Yes, it's "duct tape," which is sold under the brand name Duck Tape®. I hope my grammar, syntax, etc. is acceptable. Jeez, buddy, lighten up.

KLK,

What, exactly do I not know? Please explain.

What am I talking about that I do not know of? Exactly?

I know that the OP is an illiterate moron. Any one who says "I seen" is a moron. Anyone who says "embred" is a moron. Etc. Etc

770 credit score? Did you really mean to type 170?

LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spelled that one right eh?

And by the way, I didn't think anyone under the age of 90 mailed checks to pay bills.
