Delivery Drama

Well, hopefully not entirely the appropriate title for this post but possibly!
Thankfully our kitchen appliances were delivered more or less on time. (Our oven was a day later than first expected but they did show up between the 3pm-5pm time quote so I can't complain.) Hubby's company told him to not be surprised if sometimes the deliveries say 5pm and they show up at 10pm or don't even show at all. I spoke to a girl yesterday whose bed was lost in the 2 hours of moving from one building to another. So I am preparing myself for this possibility. Enter cargo delivery...
I think with the craziness of arriving and shopping and him starting work, I haven't realized how quickly time is going. We have now been here 5 days. Which made me start thinking, Where's our cargo? Due to the large load of boxes we sent we decided to have a company clear it through customs for us and deliver it to our apartment. Pretty standard stuff here, especially since hubby's company recommended them (plus we dont have a car). Before we sent our cargo, the form we signed stated that if you don't clear your cargo after 5 days you start accruing penalties. So yesterday, day 4, hubby calls the company. Mr Cargo knows nothing of us, even though we've been cc'd on an email directly to him from our company. So after a lot of patience and pursuasion, he tells us he'll look into it. Now, here we are, start of day 5, and no word. Am preparing to call them in a few minutes. To be continued....
Now, Ikea... We spent, let's say, waaayyy too much in Ikea. We ordered our couch, bed frame, desk, entertainment center and a few other things from them. They told us 7-10 days... But we have NO place to sit in our place! Most of the guys in hubby's training group have gotten their things delivered in 2 days! Now, I understand that part of our entertainment center was out of stock but they want to deliver everything together! So we have to wait for the in-stock things now too. I'm going to try and call the get some delivered sooner. The language barrier is definitely making things a little difficult, especially over the phone. Wish me luck! Will keep you posted.
