I had my eyes on a particular smart control component for my home for several weeks, and I knew a couple people who also had the same smart control component and it seemed like a great investment.

It was especially expensive considering that my control component wasn’t broken and traditional control units were way less expensive. Although it rarely happened, I put my name on an email list for a notification of a price drop. I thought I’d have to wait many months for the price to drop or for the hardware store to have a big sale, but I didn’t! To my surprise, the smart control component that I wanted went on sale a few weeks later. Instead of paying over one hundred dollars, it was on sale for ninety dollars. This was a thirty percent discount and it was exactly what I needed to make the purchase. As suddenly as I could, I put my information in and waited for the confirmation e-mail to come in! When I opened the email, I was surprised to see that it wouldn’t be delivered for another 3 weeks! I thought it would be delivered within 5 to 7 days, but according to my email, they were experiencing some problems. There was a staffing issue and a shortage of supplies, which was attributed to the late delay. Although I was sad, I was cheerful to know that I’d gotten a great discount on the smart control component that I really wanted.
