They explained that they would deliver in a month or two, but it was now the ‘or two’, and I wanted my air conditioning unit.
I bought a new air conditioning unit almost two months ago, but I still hadn’t received it. I knew that no one was in a hurry to have the air conditioning unit installed since it wasn’t even spring yet, but I was. I had paid a lot of money for that new air conditioning unit and I wanted it installed outside my house. I was willing to wait until the snow melted and the HVAC techs were able to walk in my backyard. I was even willing to wait until the mud from the snow had dried up. If I waited any longer than that, I would be sweltering in my own home and I would have owned an air conditioning unit for almost six months. I wanted to buy the AC unit while it was on clearance during the winter months. I bought one that was last season’s model and I got it for a good price. I deliberately bought it so early to save me some money. I didn’t expect them to put off delivery until it was summer again. They explained that they would deliver in a month or two, but it was now the ‘or two’, and I wanted my air conditioning unit. Had they told me they wouldn’t deliver the AC unit until spring, I wouldn’t be in such a hurry right now. I was picturing them selling my air conditioning unit to someone else. I could see them losing the order and not having the air conditioning when it came time to have it delivered. I would need to replace my AC unit for something new and more expensive and I would need to pay the added cost.
