Rooms to Go Water logged Mattress Orlando, Florida

I  paid $860.24 for a queen platform and memory foam mattress to be delivered by RTG on Jan. 4, 2013.  The delivery boys came, assembled the platform, and asked me if I wanted to keep the plastic on the mattress.  I told them to cut it off and take it with them.  As they were gathering up the trash and running out the door, I handed them a tip and they took it gladly, telling me I had 72 hours to call with problems. I went in to sit on my new bed as the truck roared off with my old mattress set, and my jeans got soaked.  The bottom 12 inches and the top 12 inches of the mattress was soaking soggy wet with brown water stains. My landlord witnessed it, I took pictures and wrapped it in plastic so as not to damage my wooden floors or plaster walls.

I called the cell phone for truck drivers. No answer. I called corporate customer service and was told a manager would have to get back to me.  No manager called, but the customer service rep, Jason called back and said nothing could be done until next week. I drove to the West Colonial store and spoke with Charles the salesman, who referred me to Maria the store manager, who gave me a regional number to call that kept dead ending in an  automated loop.  Maria reached the regional important man "Fred" on the store line and allowed me to speak to him, and he told me, "I don't know why you want to speak with me, I am sorry this happened, but there is nothing I can tell you or do for you, or nobody else can do anything until Monday when we can see what the delivery schedule is for the week and you need to be available ALL day."

I told him I was available all day on Jan. 5th, and he said, "It is NOT going to happen tomorrow."  Nobody had any creative solutions or offered anything other than to kick the can up a ladder of impotent and apathetic people who didn't even want to pay anybody to come get a soggy mattress out of my home. A customer service rep named "Autumn" advised me not to put a mattress cover on it because it can get moldy. Wow. AS I left the store, the salesman Charles told me, "Rooms to go Regional in Lakeland Shuts down at 3pm every friday and if the world ends, they won't know it until Monday. Good luck getting any response"

I called AMEX last night after exhausting options with RTG and they cancelled payment on the whole order until it is resolved.  I am going mattress shopping elsewhere today and am sure somebody can give me better service.
