AND AS FOR THE UTILITY COMPANIES!!!!!!!! That's another disaster!

I imagine that you’re at the end of your tether.

The wheelbarrow anecdote will make great fodder for dinner party conversation though.

Theres some people that seem to get the bad luck. That would be you and I OP! In fact I could write pretty similar 😂 My favourite is a parcel that was signed for in Fife, Scotland....I live in Yorkshire!

Gosh I think you may have just been very unlucky or be shopping in the wrong places.

I do think that with everything being big companies it can be a bit 'computer says no', but I generally find most retailers to be very good.

Sorry if that sounded dismissive. We moved a few years ago and it was extremely stressful, we did have problems with the utilities but it does all settle down in the end.

I feel your pain. It does get better (I'm told). Xxx

Where do you order stuff from 😳

Hope it gets better soon. Rnovating is stressful

YANBU.
We bought a fixer upper. Lots of things we ordered arrived damaged, some multiple times.
Tradesmen were awful. Completely unreliable. Couldn't be bothered. We had to complain about lots of shoddy workmanship, even from people and businesses with glowing reviews.
It makes the whole process so stressful you have my sympathy.

I feel your pain. I've been doing a light refurb and spent thousands on new items and handymen.

I've had to do 4 or 5 returns and Every.Single.One. I've had to chase and chase to get the money returned. There should be automatic fine if it isn't paid by a certain date.

I think anyone would be pissed off after all that faff

It sounds like you have had a lot of bad luck there.

I guess it is how they are or aren't resolved is the key.
