    Got a phonecall from the warehouse this morning, it is being delivered tomorrow!! Wooo hooo! :D

    In 'My Account' section in the empire home page it has read despatched next to my step draws for the last 7 days and I havent heard anything! So I rang empire this morning and they informed me that it is being delivered direct from their supplier, so I requested the suppliers phone number to chase order but surprise surprise they dont have a contact number, I have never come across such a amateur organisation as empire. The girl just kept saying it will be with you shortly and that she couldnt give me a date, loads of comfort, as I have already paid, and when/if it does get delivered their will be nobody there as I am at work during delivery hours!
  • I had the same problem Loopielou, but about a week after phoning empire, the supplier rand me and I now have my cabinet, so I am sure they will contact you soon too. :)

    I am fuming! They despatched mine and then returned it without trying to deliver it, and now say it's unavailable. They have lost themselves a customer.

    Even more pee'd off now - i went on the website to see if its there and ...guess what...they allowed a fresh order to go through. I have had enough of them after this. That was my birthday present to myself :(

  • empire just keep gettin better and better, at being bloody useless, they dont know their !!!!!! from their elbow. I recieved a letter yesterday from empire telling me that they had run out of stock, sorry. Well i was about to flip out when i read my other mail, one from the courier company informing me that the cabinet will be with me today! got to laugh, a crazy little laugh, with a couple of eye twitches.

    This saga has come to an end thank god, got my cabinet, courier service rang me when they were 10 mins away so that i could rush home, great service, as for empire, MICKEY MOUSE could run a company better!
  • I've got no complaints on this one, delivery date was as expected on the e-mail; there was a mega amount of packaging which is just as well as the two unfit delivery guys really struggled to get it up two flights of stairs (tee-hee!)
    -A seriously solid piece of furniture and well worth the money! :T

  • Got cancellation letter, what a bunch of idiots. Have of course complained, but it will do no good. Wife is very disappointed, which means no brownie points for me :(

    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.
  • Sorry Sarahsaver, after posting this offer you didnt even get one. I know how disappoiinted you must be.

    I was so looking forward to mine also. Oh well, OH would be pleased its not arriving (that is if he ever knew about it in the first place). I suppose it saves me from trying to find a place for it, but I did really like it.
