So it was. My bad

Are you aware of the concept of time? I just love it when people make judgements based on hindsight, assuming that the people they are judging had all of the facts available right from the start. We were assured the goods were there. They checked their computer stock lists and then 'rang and made sure' with the warehouse while we were watching. We CHOSE not to take delivery. The store has been in the same location for a number of years. It was expanded about 2 years ago, and was packed with high quality furniture when we were there. We didn't buy immediately, but instead waited a week while checking out the offerings of at least 5 other stores.

So something went wrong somewhere? Are you saying the furniture store coned ya? Do you believe that they had the couch in stock at the time you finalised the deal but then somehow it disappeared? Or were you lead to believe they had it?

Yup and yup.

The law in this situation seems to be completely ineffective. These people were taking money knowing full well that they didn't have the goods and that they were unlikely to ever get them. How is that not fraud or theft?
