After sleeping on the floor for more than a week I made the MISTAKE of going into ROCKY MOUNTAIN FURNITURE. The OWNER and his wife run the store. The OWNER, at first, seems like a harmless old man. My first priority was to make certain I could have the NEW BED DELIVERED ON THE SAME DAY. The OWNER boasted, "Not only SAME DAY, but FREE as well." (The FREE part was no big deal, the delivery address was only 2 blocks away.) AFTER being shown more than a dozen beds, the OWNER finally agreed with my selection. The OWNER INSISTED UPON SHOWING ME 'the great deals' in his store. I was polite in persisting "I only want the bed." AFTER he wrote up the invoice I provided a MASTERCARD to PAY IN FULL. I asked if his delivery person would be following me home with the bed? The OWNER said; "The Delivery people have already gone home." It was only 5:00PM! The OWNER then said; "I will have to check the DELIVERY SCHEDULE, TOMORROW. I'll call you tomorrow to tell you the next day for delivery." AFTER TOMORROW?! I reminded him of our first agreement. I said, "NO DELIVERY, NO DEAL." He said, "Fine." I then asked him to VOID THE CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION OR PROCESS A REFUND. The OWNER said, "I need to charge you a processing fee." The OWNER BREACHED HIS OWN DEAL AND HE WANTS TO NOT JUST WASTE MY TIME, BUT EXPECTS TO CHARGE ME FOR IT?! My credit card company is still awaiting a response to the DISPUTE I opened. CONSUMERS, BEWARE, the OWNER LIES, BAITS THEN SWITCHES, and STEALS!! ARE THESE MERCHANT PRACTICES COMMON IN IRON COUNTY, UTAH?
