Carol Halstead Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Okay, here's my situation. My Lenni was shipped Friday and is already sitting at a local warehouse but won't be delivered until Thursday late afternoon. My question is this.....should I go break in and take it or wait until they bring it on Thursday? I really don't know if I can wait that long!

kimmiequilts Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Carol if you go to jail poor Lenni will have to go to a foster home! I think that it's better to wait, but on the other hand why not until Thursday????? I'd want to know! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Kim has a good point. Mmmm I wonder if they will let you try it out in the warehouse! Now that must be one great space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltlover03 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I would call and whine....whine....whine...., but if that doesn't work, I am with Kim and Heidi, no point going to jail and then I would have to give foster care to your Lenni and you might never see her/him again.....

quiltmonkey Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Do you have a large enough personal vehicle (truck) to carry the boxes from the local warehouse to your house? Give them a call and see if you can go pick the boxes up yourself... you can pick them up now? Give the warehouse a call for options. Heck maybe they will deliver sooner knowing you have ants in your pants.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Well, should you not be able to wait...as I know that is a killing problem...I will bring you cookies, but the saw you will have to get from someone else. Having a hubby that is a ex-Deputy Sheriff would get me in more trouble than I need right now if I helped you break out...so only cookies from me sorry.

witha'K'quilting Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 In order for the delivery insurance to remain...you probably should have the freight company deliver the machine and components to you. But as Monika said...whine whine and whine some more. Maybe they will bring it ti you sooner. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 THURSDAY? What's up with that? I agree, call, and whine...loudly! I bet it's one of those cases where they paid for 10 day delivery and it got here early but they won't delivery it until the 10th day. I've seen Fed Ex do that. So a phone call might work!

Carol Halstead Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Arrgggggggggggggghhhh! Thanks for offering to be my partner in crime Bonnie. Hey Bonnie and Clyde....we could make that work. LOL But I will be patient and good advice on the freight insurance. I hadn't thought of that. I'll give them a call and see if they mind me bringing my muslin on over for some practice prior to Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaG Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Carol This is your chance to be making a few meals for the freezer. And are those practice tops ready? Clean the house real good, might not get done again for a while. Have fun, Victoria G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun, Victoria G LOL, But oh so true my house hasn't been sparkling clean in 5 years (about the time my Liberty moved in) and as far as meals...gather up as many takeout menus as you can find because you will loose track of time and realise that dinner never got started and every one is hungry..

dancing bear Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Dancing Bear has to dance until Wednesday afternoon ... will Bonnie bring me cookies? Skinny cookies? me leotards seem to be shrinking so only skinny cookies ... oh, carol, i am so sorry you have to wait til Thursday. Can you take dancing lessons until then? I will teach you wonderful steps and then when Leonard is all set up you can dance dance dance while Leonard stitches stitches stitches. The image is just too magical, don't you think?

Butterfly Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I agree with Victoria. Clean your house, make some meals and also do some laundry because once you start messing around on your new machine, time will fly, dinner won't get made and the house will go to pot.

JustSewSimple Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm with Kristina. If you go get it and open boxes and something is bent or broken it's on you! You will just have to be a good girl and wait. You can busy yourself with getting her room ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 LOL, Carol, I couldn't be patient either but the VA Beach jail isn't very nice. I could help break Lenni out of the warehouse but then I couldn't work for more "toys". Hummm, you could come over to my house and work on my tops. I still have cookies that we didn't eat Saturday. I think you saw how the machines just take over and everything else goes aside. Please post your pineapple quilt top on here, it is Beautiful!!!!

Carol Halstead Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Cookies? Connie, you had cookies?!! LOL. I'm on the way! Now, your machines have taken over for sure! I was amazed at what all you do and what you have to do it with. And to do them all so well...embroidery, bears, quilting...you inspire me. I will post my perfect pineapple quilt once it's done. Well, maybe before the binding since that is what I procrastinate on since it hurts my hands so bad. Until then, catching up on housework and making a year's worth of meal's to store in the freezer!

CWBowser Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Carol, I am sorry you have to wait so long. Why would they tell you it was in if they weren't going to deliver it. I agree with Victoria. Even if you don't cook or clean get going on those tops. You will be quilting them in no time. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Halstead Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I checked the tracking # on their website for kicks and giggles just to see it move accross the states. It went from Iowa to OH in a day and OH to VA in a day. If I hadn't bothered to look up their website, I wouldn't have known any different. I would have just called Wednesday as instructed and scheduled a time for delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 My advise -- be a squeaky wheel! Yup, bug the livin' daylights out of them, maybe they'll deliver early just so you won't bother them anymore! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
