Part 1 … HERE
Due to a strange and inexplicable inability to work at my desk sitting in a chair that engaged in way to much familiarity with the warp and weft of my study carpet, I ordered a gas lift from Amazon.ca. It was here in three days.
THREE DAYS!!!
My chair is now back to its usual height and we are both happier for it.
And then …
… a week ago this finally arrived …
At least it’s the right shape and size this time
Firmly ensconced on my readjusted chair I wasn’t in any hurry to open the box so it sat on the shelf, all forlorn and abandoned.
I took pity on and attacked it with box-opening tools … and voila!
A gas lift!
Now I have a spare. One can never have too many gas lifts.
I suppose
P.S. If anyone wants to do the math, my first contact with the manufacturer of my chair was on 18th October.
P.P.S. on the other hand, if I ever want to build myself a chair I now have two of the main ingredients.
Be creative. Hand-carve the rest. You have the parts which have to be manufactured!

But is it the right size? The right model? Does it work? I sense Part 3 approaching …

Nope this … The End! 🙂 … I think I would’ve thrown a giant hissy fit if it had devolved into a trilogy. 🙂

I have always loved shopping online… but this year things have conspired to make me change my mind. Nothing is ever what it said on the box, and deliveries are taking far too long. And as for sending anything back…

A lot of companies just havent got the message about how to translate a physical business model into an on-line one as well.
For all its issues with its product providers Amazon has raised the bar to new heights as far as customer service is concerned.

Yes, they do try to go the extra mile… more companies should do the same!

Build a chair would be a fun challenge. Uppermost in my mind is to build a box or two for vegetable growing next year.
