Made it home to bitter disappointment

cornerofmadnessMom and I spent the morning cutting a jillion trees out of my garden (well I cut, she bagged) then drove home. That was uneventful if you disregard a major accident in the town I went to h.s. in.
I got home to find my Right Stuf anime made it here (Keep an eye on their anniversary/birthday/whatever sales right now because there are stuff dead cheap). I got Ajin and Dramatical Murder both sight unseen because the entire seasons were 15$ each. I can take a chance at that price. That wasn't the disappointing thing.
I also got my Pyramid Collection box. It was very lacking in depth and it was supposed to be a dress and a bedspread. This bedspread .we're like how could those fit in that box?
The dress is backordered. Okay, mildly disappointing (and I'm betting I never see this dress). The bedspread was one I've wanted for YEARS. I've longed for it, been playing new curtains for it. Finally bought it. And it's not a bedspread like they said. It's a tapestry throw, you know the cheap ass things you can get at wal-mart, that they're calling a bedspread. It's thin. It's like burlap. It's going back. I'm heartbroken. I thought it was beautiful. Honestly if it were cheaper I'd keep it but no, I'm not spending 80$ on something that is thin and going to snag (because I have two of those tapestry throws and all they do is pull threads out). Sigh.
In theory tomorrow I get my computer back.Here's hoping it's not more bitter disappointment.

I will say the clothing I have purchased from them has all been excellent except twice (one was made funny and one was crap but I bought that for the corset that came with it and that was nice)
