This Window Is Too Big
I recently had some furniture delivered. I was told to expect it from 11 am to 3 pm.
But shouldn't experienced delivery people from established businesses be a little better in their ETA? If an airline said "we usually land at 4 pm, but it may be in the evening" you wouldn't want to fly with them. (And the problems of airlines are a lot more serious when it comes to delays in schedule.) If you asked a waiter how long before a dish will be ready and heard "probably twenty minutes but it could be over three hours" you'd walk out.
But that's the thing--stuck in my house, I can't walk out. I'm a prisoner of the delivery guys. Let's say I want to go to lunch. If they said 11 to noon, or even 11 to 1, fine, I can plan on lunch after. Of if they said 1 to 3 I can have lunch before. But 11 to 3?
Seems to me a decent delivery service can get it down to two hours--one if they work at it.

Just had an appliance delivered. Window was 1 to 3:30. (2 1/2 hours). That should be sufficient. When they came at 5 they said it was because the previous house had three deliveries of appliances from the basement to the 2nd floor. Well you could have called . . .
