My elderly mum in law had a new carpet fitted in her front room today. She phoned us and was very upset as they've left two very large bags of leftover carpet in her back garden, and refused to move some furniture to even roughly to where she'd like it (a display cabinet, sideboard and two small sofas), saying it would be £10 per item! She didn't have any cash on her otherwise she would have paid
Previously we'd always used local businesses who have proved to be very helpful but in this instance she went with a rather large chain... AIBU in thinking in that seeing she's elderly that they could have put some of the furniture at least back in the room for her instead of in a heap in a corner? When we got there we couldn't believe it - the sofas lumped on top of each other, everything else just haphazard.
On the plus side, the carpet does look very nice...
