Hello: I am a part time, on-call driver with a driver's leasing company. Raymour's sales representatives cannot promise you quality in delivery because the money you spend on the furniture goes "straight to the top" (the CEO's etc.) When you do not pay the drivers anything but peanuts, you get monkeys - and those monkeys are always calling out sick and/or you should see the turnover.
This is where the leased driver come in. I am still studying part time during the day - it is a tougher curriculum than at night when everybody and the professor is tires - so I work through the evening hours. Being on-call with several of these driver's leasing companies usually guarantees that one of them will be calling me each day.
TODAY the first company called me to show up in Swedesboro - where your furniture initially is dispatched - and because of travel/congestion the leasing company (through R & F) implied they could not tolerate my being 15 minutes late. So, completely separate from the first call, the second leasing company (where I am on-call) not knowing the first had called, called me about an hour later. The first call would have expected me 15 minutes late, now, an hour later another call. 1.25 hours late.
Upper management thinks they are not going to invest in quality deliver, and thinks everybody is going to give them something for nothing.
You gave them a lot of "something," and they know you will not be getting anything but a promise after you shell out the cash.
Look in careerbuilder.com under Raymour & Flannigan and see how many jobs they list. Look at the fact they give you several years interest free and no payments - they are that desperate to make the sale.
Sorry for your dilemma - but wanted you to know what goes on "behind the scense."
