My personal peeve has to do with ordering from catalogs.

I ordered a tent for my little niece. It looked really cute - a lady bug!

I had it shipped to Boston for Christmas. When I got there and opened the package - it wasn't a tent at all - it was a wooden horse stable.

After Christmas I called the company and complained. You would have thought that I was just a trouble maker - "don't you like the horse stable"
"you want to return it?"

I have talked to this company so many times - I am sick of them. And of course, their accounting department works just fine - the charge is on my credit card.

This is the second time I have encountered this problem. I ordered something for the house - extensions for down spouts. I received two sets of vegetable bags? I thought I was crazy - but this company apologized - told me to keep the vegetable bags and they sent me the correct items right away.

Someone told me that this is their way of getting my money into their account...........and then messing with the order if the item is out of stock.
