The story in detail:

OP and her husband hired an interior designer for their wedding furniture. But they hit a snag when they were told that one of the designs was no longer available. So, they went back to pick another one.

After three weeks, they're told another fabric they picked is unavailable. OP gets annoyed and asks the designer for compensation due to the ongoing order and approaching wedding.

OP called the store's manager but didn't receive a response even after leaving a message.

When the furniture order arrived, several items were incorrect. OP informed the designer, who requested pictures and promised to send the right ones without any extra cost.

Two months later, the correct order still hadn't arrived. They found out it wasn't even re-ordered, despite delaying their wedding. The designer couldn't explain the situation.

OP never received the agreed allowance. When they asked for a receipt, the designer sent a handwritten one, leaving OP feeling very anxious about the whole situation.

OP hasn't taken any further action except talking to the unresponsive manager. Now, they're asking WIBTK to help them talk to someone else.

With a blink of an eye his post went viral faster than a sneeze in a crowded room, and boy, did it catch everyone's attention! Here’s how Reddit users reacted:

$18,000 is a big amount to just sit back and not do anything about it.

OP should definitely be making a presidential complaint.

Other Reddit users are suggesting the same thing" is grammatically correct.

The company is mostly to blame, not the designer.
