Finally lugged one more table back home and completed my study and work area in my room. But the shopping at Ikea was really a nightmare and they have very bad logistics management...
I wanted this piece of Vika Amon table top: dimension 100 cm x 60 cm. Oh yah, birch effect one. I want this particular piece because I want two desks of similar sizes and look. I wanted to get the second piece since May and since May, they have been telling me that it's out of stock and stock would only be shipped in in 2 weeks. Nevermind that first time, I went back 2 weeks later, they told me shipment had not arrived yet and I had to wait for 2 more weeks. Another 2 weeks went by, still another 2 weeks and until yesterday, they told me another thing - i.e.: this item is discontinued and will no longer be replenished. OMG, so you wasted my 3 months waiting for that bloody table top?
No point making a big fuss there 'cos it's not going to make them ship in one more piece of table top just for me. Just count myself bad luck. So I had no choice but to go for the closest thing i.e. table top of the same finishing but just 20 cm longer for double the price.
Second bad encounter was at the cashier: I forgot to bring my Friends card so I asked if she could credit the reward points to my account by my I/C number. She said no. Okay but maybe she was kind enough to tell me that she could credit my points to my account if I knew my account number. 12 digit long. And as if I could remember the number of card that I hardly use. Nevermind. But I couldn't stand she had to rub it in by saying: what a pity, it's double the points during sales period! Argghh!
Fainted. Kind enough to ask for my card number but couldn't see that I'm full of those small items and didn't bother to ask if I needed a bag when I was bagless. Nevermind.
The table on the right is the new member of the room...
I like these 3 boards. Have been wanting to stick old pictures but haven't found the time...
Cherish the good old days...
