Delivery is scheduled for today.

The rep said on the phone <<with I assume a straight face>> “put it out of your way for a couple of days and the installer will call you within two business days to schedule installing it”.  (For this, I paid extra! Argh!)

Not the not the way I’d like it to be done, but I guess now we know. Sigh!

I was ASSUMING (Yeah, I know ASS-out_of_U-and-ME! I forgot again.) that it would be delivered by the installer who would deliver it and go away.  (Hopefully, taking all residue debris away or, at least, flattening any cardboard and bagging up everything else.  I guess cleaning up wold be exceptional and even I, the curmudgeonly cheapskate, would tip the installer for going the extra mile.)
