Furniture Woes Continue

We bought a little extendable dining table from a trendy furniture store a couple of weeks ago (not Ikea!!!) and I had expected we would walk in, pay, and walk out with it. So we were sad to discover that it takes 2 weeks to get it shipped out from their warehouse in Winnipeg, Manitoba (the armpit of Canada). Fine, we say, resignedly, it is the perfect dimensions for our place so we will wait.

Keith goes to pick it up today and he tells me that it is... MISSING A PART. And when he called the store to say so, they said we have to EMAIL someone to find out what to do next. What is up with the antiquated defective product procedures? Should we also telegram someone and request a tri-carbon-copy defective goods form, which we can then fax to a secretary of the Furniture Factory Foreman?

As I gouge my eyes out with two blunt chopsticks.
