What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Here is the scenario:
A furniture store offers a deep discount on mattresses for their employers. In order to receive a discounted mattress, the employee is to remit payment (in the form of a money order or cashier's check) directly to the bedding factory, and one will be shipped to the purchaser. Keep in mind that the furniture store also has these mattresses in stock.
The mattress was supposed to be in in 2 weeks. It has been 3. The employee is not confident that the mattress will ever arrive. Who ultimately is responsible for either returning the money invested or presenting the employee with a mattress? Obviously, the employee will first try to contact the factory, but does the furniture store have to accept responsibility in making this right at any point, as it is their benefit program?
