My experience with Abyat
I purchased an oven from Abyat a few days ago. Yeah it sounds strange buying an oven from Abyat and not a place like Alghanim or Eureka but I was looking for a built in oven for my new kitchen and I found a really great looking Gorenje oven from the Ora-Ito collection and for a really competitive price at Abyat.
So yesterday they call me up to deliver the oven. I tell the driver how to get to my place and within 30 minutes he comes over with the new oven and leaves.
So today Abyat call me up to deliver the oven. I tell the driver how to get to my place and within 30 minutes he comes over with the new oven and leaves.
I didn’t mistype, it was déjà vu. It seems they made a mistake and they delivered my oven twice. I now have two beautiful ovens in my kitchen but not for long. I called them up and told them about the mistake they made. They were surprised but very apologetic and will be coming by tomorrow to pick up the extra oven. I like Abyat, its no Home Depot but its close enough.

Seems like they do have good service and its probably good you went with them as they are trying to prove themselves, so hopefully they have good service!

Quick question. Why did you give the second driver the directions if you’re not going to keep it ?

Congrats on the purchase. :) Definitely going to check it out.
I heard that someone’s planning to open up a Home Depot in Kuwait… can anyone confirm?

i didnt think he was going to deliver the exact same oven. i thought he was delivering something he had missed the day earlier.

another quick question: When you opened the door and saw that there is another oven, why didn’t you tell the guy to take it back because you have your oven?

Am surprised you didn’t auction it off on the Forums.

Abyat is not only a great one-stop-shop but its also managed well. I have worked with the management and they are well organized and very professional. They also have a vision to progress and expand. Abyat is a Kuwaiti developed idea and it is tailored to the local market. I dont think you can compare Home Depot to Abyat because Abyat is providing much more services than Home Depot. One of these services are free classes where they bring professors from KU to teach on home building. I think Abyat is an amazing Kuwaiti idea which we should support and forget about such things as Home Depot!

Would you legally have been entitled to the extra oven? ;)
15. Richie | November 13th, 2008 at 3:05 pm

“meh …. just use the other one to torture your enemies …..”
Or for your kinky purposes.
