I purchased a floor model table lamp and received excellent assistance from Toni with that and my other inquiries about the Rockport end table and coffee table. At checkout, that is where the problem began. At checkout there was a discrepancy as to whether or not the sales price included the lamp shade. While that was being sorted out, another associate that I have worked with in the past removed the harp from the lamp shade. I thought she was wrapping it, but I am not certain what she did with it.
After it was decided how I would be charged for the lamp including the lamp shade, Toni bagged the lamp shade and went to the back to wrap my lamp. I paid for the lamp with the shade and leave.
I get home and set up the lamp, look for the harp, and it is not in the bag with lamp shade nor attached to the lamp. What in the world can I do with a lamp shade with no harp. So, I called the store and explained that I was there about an hour ago and what happened. I spoke to AJ. He was quite helpful. He checked with his co-workers but no seemed to know what happened to the harp. I was asked repeatedly to check the bag and the lamp. Since the harp is the piece that allows you to connect the shade to the lamp and is metal, it would be easy to find if it is in the bag or attached to the lamp. Nonetheless, I triple checked the bag and there was no harp.
I was placed on hold 4 times while AJ constantly asked about where my harp was. I told AJ about the associate that had taken the harp from shade. However, no one knows what happened to it, and the associate that had taken it from the shade had convenient amnesia as to not handling it. Really?!?!
AJ told me that he would look for a harp and would call me back. He called back and left me a message. He claims he could not find a harp in the store, and that I could return the lamp.
There were other harps in the store. Sadly, they did not want to damage out my lamp shade and give me a new one with a harp. That is fine. After the lack of willingness to just give me a harp, I will be returning the lamp and the lamp shade, and I will not make any future purchases from that store again.
