Frigidaire STILL Doesn't Care

 


Yes...this is a follow up to:  https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2020/08/frigidaire-doesnt-care.html

And let me preface this again by saying  it's hot again in NJ and even though this is not a problem that is going to affect the course of world events, I am frustrated and tired to say the least.

When we last left off, Frigidaire was going to send us a gift card for the cost of purchase (minus sales tax...even though we didn't get a working product that should be taxed).  We DID get said gift card this week.  And this is where we were dumb...no...change that....this is where my husband turned into an optimist.

He went back to Amazon.  He found ANOTHER Frigidaire (NOT the same model).  Why?  Because reviews say the unit is relatively quiet.  I WANT quiet.  I've lived through too many noisy units in my lifetime.  He orders the unit.  And we wait...

UPS pulled up at our house around 3 this afternoon with a nice big box.  Hubby and son bring it inside.  Hubby checks box to make sure that the unit is what he ordered.  One that will work with Alexa and indeed the box says that:  

  


So...they lug it upstairs to the bedroom.  But this time, BEFORE he puts it in the window, he tests it to make sure it will connect.  He follows the directions.   (I watch him follow the directions.)  Guess what happens?

Absolutely NOTHING.  No connection.  He turns it off and gives it a minute and tries again.  NOTHING!

Furious, he calls customer service and waits and waits...and after about 15 minutes or so gets Brianna who I am sure is a very nice lady and he DID try to be nice, but this is the 2nd unit we've gotten from them within the month of August and this is the 2nd unit that hasn't worked as advertised.  

What are the odds of getting 2 units that don't have working wifi?  I'm saying if it comes from Frigidaire, the chances are pretty good.  I'm thinking there's probably a whole lot of units out there advertised as working with Alexa or Google Assistant that don't.  (And if you have one; let me know.)

So here we are again.  Help ticket opened and an unit that has been paid for that doesn't work properly.

When it comes to quality control, Frigidaire STILL doesn't care.

We Have Taken America Back

Image
Back to a time when all men (and women) are not created equal.  Where women's healthcare is determined by men's laws and not by medical professionals. Where education tells only the "winning" side of the story and truth does not matter.  Where banning and burning books is a social event.  Where people who are "different" than those in power can be mocked, shunned and hurt with no real consequences. Where lies are acceptable and integrity is  just a word on a page We have moved into a time where rage is the rage.  Where hate is not just normal, but accepted and even cheered. Where leaders can ask to have their "enemies" killed and no one will bat an eye.  Where it's "funny" to see someone struggle.  Where felony is applauded. Where compassion is not shown and caring for others is looked down upon. We have taken America back to a time of pain and suffering for many.  Back to when the "haves" can have and the have nots don'...

It's Not About Starbucks (or is it)?

Image
  About a block and a half from my home in a major intersection.  At the southeast corner (which is nearest to me), is an empty building.  Back in 1995 it was a Bank of NY (I remember this because they didn't shovel/de-ice their parking lot well and my husband fell and broke his ankle one Monday morning.  I recall this clearly because we were not yet married and it was the first day of a new job for me.  I had gotten on the bus to work and he was catching a later one; only he never got there.  Instead he ended up laying on the ground until an employee came to open up the bank.  Then he had them call an ambulance AND my mother who took control of the situation until I arrived home that night blissfully unaware of what had happened that day.)  It eventually became a Chase Bank; the second one in my small little town.  It eventually closed.  I'm not sure when but it's been empty for quite a long time.  (I do know that it was open in 20...

As Is

Image
  Today I want to discuss what I think it is a relatively simple concept, but may be difficult for some, even an attorney who might have once, over a decade ago won a  prestigious award  for young lawyers .  That term is "AS IS." As you may know, I volunteer in a thrift shop.  Everything we sell, from all the donations we receive, is "as is."  The items are not brand new.  They are not perfect.  That doesn't mean they aren't any good or worth something. They are sold "as is."  Buyers should go in knowing that. (After all you are shopping in a thrift shop!)  In some cases, particularly when we are offering higher end products, we will actually write on the price tag, "as is." Such is the case of two designer purses that I purchased from there this summer.  (I'm a purse-aholic!  Don't look in my closet.)  They were reasonably priced (especially when you consider the name brand), but each had an "as is" clearly marked o...
