Will the furniture ever come in?

As you may remember, we ordered our furniture back in early November. At the time, they told us it would take approximately 7 - 10 business days to be shipped from the warehouse. Well, it's been 6 weeks and we still don't have our furniture for the nursery.

I first got a call about a week after we placed the order telling us that the crib had been delivered, but they shipped the wrong dresser. So the store was going to send back the wrong dresser and reorder the right one. Then I get a call after another week telling us that the right dresser had arrived, but after careful inspection it was damaaged. Kudos to Babies R Us for actually inspecting it before having us come pick it up. But now they needed to send back the damaged dresser and reorder another one.

I was feeling optimistic at first because at least we were getting regular status updates about once a week. But that stopped after the last call. I have not heard from the store in about 4 weeks. I tried calling about 2 weeks ago to see if they had any information, but all that they could tell me was that the dresser had not been delivered yet and they didn't know when it would.

Needless to say, I am really glad we ordered our furniture early and didn't wait until the last minute. Now I'm just getting impatient to start setting everything up. Keep your fingers crossed that our furniture is delivered soon. Maybe it will be a Christmas miracle!
