• In bitter delivery battle with Huffman Koos, does customer deserve a full refund? (lehighvalleylive.com subscription) — A new Parsippany apartment renter says a furniture chain refused to refund her $1,000 after a missed and allegedly botched delivery, despite state rules that appear to favor consumers. The story walks through her attempts to resolve the dispute, the company's final-sale stance, and what New Jersey's consumer regulations actually require. It's a useful cautionary tale for anyone furnishing a local home.
