The IKEA-Disaster
Saturday morning we got up very early, since planned was to abandon the IKEA-order and then to delete the entire apartment.
But first, I insisted on buying new toilet seats * grin *
in Krefeld, we now have some of the other residents to know.
We learned, among other things, that before we probably had two guys share a flat in our house and have no apartment treated especially carefully (as I am now told that the broker was, the two terminated without notice). It will take us no one need worry ^ ^
On the way to IKEA in Dusseldorf I have a Weber leaves POCO discovered a special action that was certainly full of promise: Supply and installation of a kitchen for a total of 150 euros. So we decided to stop by IKEA for POCO and let us plan a kitchen, since the offer only up to 2.9. valid. Well, but I was wrong ...
IKEA hell was going on. Logically, new catalog is out, the weather was rather mediocre, and this was the weekend. But what must that be and so we fought through the crowd and let us complete the service stands, the order lists (we can supply us with the furniture, but looking even of IKEA employees from the shelves, so we are just about the lists must take care). A lunch of chips and Köttbullar we received course not escape.
After looking frames and folding chairs were loaded on a cart, it also went to the cashier, who were obviously similar to the full as the store. Shortly
could whip out my bank card and although I am easier to be about 4000 € ... if this works for if>. <
The cashier, however, reassured me and said that some accounts have a lock to 2000 € and they could just split the amount. The first installment of 1800 € could be also be charged without objection, then the second but no more.
then had only one other IKEA staff member to call, which could cancel the amount of 1800 €. She said then I should quickly up to the IKEA Family-level and apply for a payment card with which I could pay now and which also has a lock as my bank card.
So we have our cars parked below and are gedackelt up, have applied for a card there and then had to wait again until the card is activated.
then we back down on the queue (by now it was already after 16 clock), then the same games again to start from scratch: the amount to be split must be because I can pay with a temporary payment card only 2,500 € .
could After some back and forth the Kassierein somehow establish that the 2,500 € in cash run and the rest should be debited to my normal bank card.
But it worked again not as it should. Probably was € 1,800 payment from the first experiment, the card is blocked for other payments. So again
had to cancel the employee will be called and the way we hoped that we do not jump the other people in the snake's throat because she had to wait so long.
perceived as an eternity which Stornier employee opened with us, they could say nothing to me but other than that we probably have to come back another time and then the cash bar will have it because it does not seem so yes.
I then without a Another word evaporated, otherwise I would surely burst.
Poor Chris was allowed to pay for our purchases and endure my crappy mood.
The thing with POCO had then eaten at this time because we are only at 17.30 clock in the car and sat for half an hour is not sufficient to travel from Dusseldorf to Krefeld and then also plan to have a kitchen.
So are we driven straight to the apartment after all and have still managed to paint the wall in the living room before it got dark. Accordingly, we have managed
4.5 hours at IKEA for nothing and spent nothing on the day and in the end nothing.
see now I have all something loose, but Saturday I was just before a killing spree.
runs today Chris after work at IKEA (4000 € in cash in his pocket) and controls everything, and hopefully, hopefully, hopefully we will receive sometime during the week supplied the furniture and everything will be fine;)
