Last summer (August, I think) my wife placed an order for several thousand dollars worth of furniture. From the beginning, she was told that there would be a delay, due to COVID, supply-chain delays, etc. That sounded reasonable.
But each promised delivery was postponed again and again. To date (February), we have received nothing -- except one chair in December that turned out to be wrong: she ordered a swivel chair and the one delivered didn't swivel. <br />
A new order, a new promise (for April, I think), then word that the swivel chair we ordered DID NOT EXIST -- AND HAD NEVER EXISTED. The purchase price for the chair was returned, but no reimbursement for the interest we paid our bank to borrow the money about ($55). And clearly Perigold had made some money by investing our money for 6 months. They didn't put it in a sock.<br />
When I complained to Perigold that they were using my money to make money instead of using it to make furniture, I was brushed aside: "You chose to borrow the money. We didn't tell you to do that."<br />
The other furniture is still "on order", but the delivery dates are continually postponed.<br />
Is this a scheme -- to promise merchandise that doesn't exist, planning to use the money to make money, then pay back the purchase price when their hand is called?
