Flobed - a big disappointment so far - or maybe not!
|
After 3 weeks, the bed finally arrived today. I was looking forward to it and decided to take photos as I set it up and post them here - as someone else had done on this forum with a different brand of bed. I found those photos very helpful. So I photographed each step and finally got to the big OOPS. The bag that was labeled "convolute comfort pad" was really another core and covered only half the bed. I realize mistakes happen and I called Flobed. They said I could sleep on it anyway and they would ship a replacement today - Tuesday. I confirmed online that it did ship but t is not scheduled to arrive until next Tuesday - is this the best they can do? Couldn't they come up with a shipping method that guaranteed delivery by the weekend? Again, I realize mistakes do happen but I feel, under the circumstances, they could have worked a little harder to get the replacement here faster. I sent them a complaint e-mail. Will call them on Friday if they don't reply. I would say their customer service is pretty disappointing at this stage. I'll keep you posted on further developments - if they make things riight, I will be sure to post the positives. I'll try to post the photos tomorrow of what they have sent so far. Now it's time to go test the bed from this company that so many people rave about. This message was modified Feb 4, 2009 by BobJ

| Last night I slept on the firm side. It was great. and I suspect I will stay with firm. The convolute pad looks like it will arrive today. Still too cold though. I slept well, I think, but woke up very cold. aron1231 had recommended the SnugFleece Original topper and I am going to check it out or see if I can get something at Bed Bath & Beyond tonight. Other than that, it does seem like a good bed - I do NOT miss the old bed. |

| Glad you like it so far, even without the topper. I'm looking forward to seeing your setup photos and writeup. That would be much appreciated! |
Re: Flobed - a big disappointment so far - or maybe not!
| I'm ready to post the photos BUT I can't figure out how to do it. I sent a note to the admin asking how to do it. In the meantime, if anyone else can offer advise, I would appreciate it.. It looks like you have to post a link so I uploaded the pics to Flickr first but I still can't figure it out. I tried with Firefox first and then tired with IE7 with no luck on either. Help? |

Re: Flobed - a big disappointment so far - or maybe not!
| Thanks sager66. Your suggestion sounded good and I change the size of all the photos to 640 pixels wide but I still can't get it to work. In IE7, I still get the red "x" where the photo should be. Maybe it's my security settings? |

Re: Flobed - a big disappointment so far - or maybe not!
| Thanks. I've read that already and have done everything it says to do. I've just uploaded the pics to a different site in case it has something to do with Flickr. About to try again. |
Re: Flobed - a big disappointment so far - or maybe not!
| Problem solved. Either it was Flickr or my own stupidity on how to use that site. I posted the pics to Photobucket and was able to easily add them to the post Thanks all of you who offered advice. Much appreciated. |
