A TALE OF WOE
Yesterday I was expecting to have delivered 2 chairs and footstools, 1 bed with small feet and headboard. What I got was 1 chair and footstool and 1 bed with high feet. Now I had paid over $8k for the furniture and had to wait 5 weeks for delivery. So was I happy? Nope not happy, stressed, upset but not happy. I was in full "karen* mode. The business I was dealing with BIG Save, yeap a local business who failed majorly on this. I was told once missing chair was found it could take 2-3 days to be delivered, after waiting 5 weeks already and it was 1 of them that lost it? I don't think so. The chair had been with rest of order but had been taken to Napier instead. I tried to talk to regional manager but they were in a meeting but would "call me back" still waiting on that call. I did get a call to say rest of order will be here today. Yeah not holding my breath it will be correct. This has been a complete disaster. Will never deal with BIG SAVE again. Has anyone else have this happen to them?
Update order arrive correct this time. Yea. However it seems my chair was in warehouse the whole time but someone had sold it and a different person's name on it destined for Palmy! So not only did I receive only half my order but big porkies told to me as well. Lovely dealing with a local company NOT!!!
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
