Outrageous!

Everything was set for the furnitures and other exercise equipments meant for the new SAC. We managed to select the companies that we thought would be able to help us to save costs. Also, after going through the different brands and quality, I was sure that the choice was correct. However, 2 things happened which I found it ridiculous and outrageous.

1) On Saturday, I had asked one of my colleagues to help check and confirm with one vendor on the furnitures. On the prices quoted to us previously, we found it to be reasonable and the cheapest among the different vendors that we had sourced. However, when my colleague checked the items again, the lady whom I talked to the other day told her that the price for one of the items were of lower quality and recommended a higher quality one with a much higher price. In the end, this vendor was not quoting us the cheapest. I find this so ridiculous. How can anyone quote one price today and tomorrow it becomes another price? No wonder she refuses to give written quotation. In the end, I decided to go to another vendor as I found that this lady was not honest enough to give us the best deal.

2) Just minutes ago, I looked into the company's email and found to my horror that one vendor had to charge us extras for something they forgot to quote in their quotation????? UUGGGRRRRR!!!!! My goodness! Goods coming in tomorrow afternoon and now this email shoots just like that!!!!! I cannot believe this. Suddenly, I feel like cancelling the whole order and order the items from another vendor. If this is for my personal use, I will definitely do so. Besides, the sales person was the one who recommended one sick bed to us that could also be used as a resting chair. Now the admin shot the email to say that they needed to have a minimum $10K before they could order this item. As if this is my problem. Wah, if I was in office today and see this kind of email, I will surely call to this admin staff and scold her for this kind of things that she is doing. Moreover, this company is not a small company. How can they make such mistakes?? My goodness!

Oh Lord, I pray that tomorrow, no such funny things will occur. Already, I am so busy with the preparations and personal things and now this kind of surprises spur up. Oh Lord, please help me to find solutions to such ridiculous and outrageous things. In Jesus' name, Amen.
