When we moved down here, we had Matt's old washer. It worked, but damn, was it noisy, and it tried to walk across the floor a few times. His parents sent us $300 to buy a drier. Well, with his $100 medical bill, we figured we could get a used one for $200 or so. So, off to the used appliance store with our roommate. The plan was, Chris would charge it, and we'd give him half out of the check.
We found a matched set of washer and drier for $300.
So, with letting them have the old washer, he let us have the set for $325, including tax and delivery. Paid for it Tuesday, it was to be delivered Thursday morning.
Flash to today, Thursday, morning. Phone rings. After I figure out that's what it is and answer it, the guy tells us both his delivery people called in with the flu and one has the truck. So, no delivery today, but delivery tomorrow, unless we want to run out and get the washer and drier. We _do_ have access to a minivan today, but thinking about it, that means we'd have to haul the old washer out there (we're on the second floor) and then haul the newer washer and drier up to the second floor, install them ourselves, etc...
I'm thinking laundry can wait til tomorrow. :-P
