I purchased a bunkbed/futon combo bedroom set for my 4 year old last week. I paid a $59.99 fee for delivery and assembly. On friday the set was delivered and assembled, or so I thought. Once the delivery men left, my son excitedly climbed up the ladder to try out his new bed as I looked on. Once he reached the the top I watched the bed literally sway beneath him. I grabbed him off the the top of the bed and began to more closely inspect the delivery mens' work. I realized that they simply placed the bed together like a puzzle and that nothing was actually secured. I also found tucked under the bed an unopened bag of screws that were supposed to be used to keep the bed together.

I called the company and after several hours was able to get another crew to come the next day and secure the bed. When I asked what they would do regarding the situation, the company apologized several times and offered to refund the $59.99 delivery and assembly fee saying that that was the best they could do.

Aren't I entitled to more for them putting my son at risk like that? Should I pursue this?
 
Q: Aren't I entitled to more for them putting my son at risk like that? Should I pursue this?

A: Was your son hurt?
 
You cannot sue for what might have happened. I would definitely ask for a refund of the delivery and set up fee and see if someone you know can come over to put the bed together. I am sure it will not be hard to find someone a little handy to do that, even a neighbor maybe.
 
Correction, I see you already had the bed put together by amother crew. Personally I think you should accept the refund, but let the company know that your son could have been injured by the bed falling apart and they need to look into the liability that delivery man placed the company in. Your son could have been injured but fortunately he was not.
 
No, my son wasn't hurt. Thank God.

Isn't there someone or thing that I can report this company to? Just because my son didn't get hurt doesn't mean the next kid won't.

Thanks for the replies!!
