Dfish 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 The sofas was delivered this afternoon but its all wrong. After waiting anxiously for 4 weeks and all the suffering of sitting on the floor, its wrong. Very upset. Everything is written correctly and clearly and neatly (really very neat handwriting) on the delivery order but the wrong thing was delivered. Wonder whom did loading of goods, I mean don't they check before they load it up the lorry or something? It's a waste of their time and effort to rectify with all the carrying up and down of sofa.Its quite a bad experience with Evov in some sense but its great that Maggi is so easily contactable and assuring that I feel much better now. I pity her also. Here she's doing her best to service her customers and behind, the operations people is scewing it up. Sounds a bit like my bank. Ha! Hubby spotted a stain on the sofa but luckily the delivery person managed to remove it with some solvent. When I came back home at night and saw it, the first thing I did was to take a measuring tape to measure the length. My guess was right, I ordered for 2.2m but this one is 2.1m. Sms-ed Maggi immediately and she says she'll check it out tomorrow and give me a call. Regardless, I'm going to tell her tomorrow if she needs to re-manufacture a new one, I want this wrong one here and they can do an exchange later on. If they carry it back, it will be another 4 weeks of suffering. It comes with 2 cushions, they gave away another 2 due to GSS. Sighs, this is totally off. You can ignore the black cushions, it's meant for the living but we put it here first so that its not so plain. It comes in 2 pieces. I ordered one with arm (which cost $200 more) and one without. They delivered both without arm. And cream long furry backrest cushions when I wanted it to be black furry also. I repeat again lor, the delivery order is written so clearly in black and white, are they blind or something? They took back one chair and the cushions to exchange. Maggi says coz another customer ordered the same one (so qiao with same fabric and foam?) so they had delivered wrongly.Also, when I compare with the sofa I see in the showroom, somehow, my sofa seems more stiff and squarish when the showroom piece seems more plushy and cushy. Though the showroom piece is in real leather but shouldn't differ so much in terms of the foam right? Really don't know why.Hi LindaOh no! I understand your disappointment and fustration after so much anticipation and waiting about the sofa! Now have to wait some more.. You are really sharp to notice the 0.1m diff from your 3-seater! Talking about that, I must go and measure my sofa length too.. My sofa was delivered last week too.. Everything seems alright though I was a little worried Evov will screw up cos their coordination between the staff was a bit off. As for the delivered sofa seeming different from the showroom piece, like what Predaking said, it has to be seasoned.. That was what the delivery people told me too. Has to be seasoned after that it will look nice cos my sofa looks a little raw too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
