Rugs
We tried to buy some floor rugs for the kids' rooms since they were repainted with new themes, through the Sears Homecenter website. Ordered them long ago, they never came, never came, never came. Finally the orders were cancelled by Sears, and now the website says:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are no longer able to take internet orders for these catalog titles. We apologize for this inconvenience.Did a little looking, and apparently the unforeseeable bankruptcy was the problem:
Direct Marketing Services Inc., a Chicago-based catalog company that owns and operates home décor catalogs and Web sites, agreed Monday to auction its assets Aug. 5 under an assignment for the benefit of creditors.The 15-year-old mail-order firm is most famous for owning and operating a catalog and Web site under the Montgomery Ward moniker, a brand it acquired in 2004 when the retail giant went out of business.
It also operates Web sites for Sears Holdings Corp. under the Sears Home Center, Sears Showplace and Sears Room for Kids brands.
DMSI founder and CEO David Milgrom couldn't be reached for comment.
I guess we'll find the rugs somewhere else.
