Ugh, two strikes on things for which I've been waiting a long time today!

First, I ordered a replacement stand for a speaker a couple of months ago, the original having been somehow lost in the move between countries. What arrived today was not the stand but an individual foot that is part of that model of stand. There's a long lead time on these parts because they typically have to be sourced from the US, so this is a PITA.

Second, I ordered some light fittings and bulbs to replace some failing and obsolete lighting in the new home over 6 weeks ago. The vendor has been terrible at communicating or responding to me about cancelling the order, which I've attempted multiple time. I wound up issuing a dispute with my payment processor and wouldn't you know, later that day suddenly the order gets shipped! It arrived today with the wrong color light fittings, so it is going to be even more effort to resolve this than if they had just refunded my order like I'd asked for all along.
