My husband went to the Lego store early this week to get me my Winter Village Bakery (last years seasonal offering) which I had been wanting, using LEGO VIP rewards for the bulk of the purchase.<\/p>\n
The store was out of stock in regards to that item. They also couldn’t order it to ship to the store without full pay because the system for VIP points wasn’t working, or something like that. So he called their 800 phone number and talked to them, and they there also had a problem, so he hung up and didn’t pursue it again, until this morning when I MADE him do so.<\/p>\n
So he talked to them on the phone again, a new person, they got it worked out, and it’s supposed to be sent out on Monday … all for about $16.05. They agreed to ship free. So it’s the price of the thing, plus tax, minus VIP Points used as part of payment to equal the $16.05.<\/p>\n
AWESOME!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
