Fridge and oven install

Actually happened on 12/3/14 and 12/10/14, but blogging now.

FRIDGE
The fridge was installed by the appliance company which was nice, however the first fridge had two dents in it. They said they would fix it and I said, "NO...I'm declining this fridge".  I just had a bad feeling about it for some reason.   It also had to do with the fact it was delivered out of a box when the rest of the appliances were in a box.  They said they take off the box before they deliver, however I just wasn't sure.
When they delivered the 2nd fridge, it came without a box too, but no handles were installed and there was more wrapping on the box.  I asked them if they always deliver without a box and they said,  "yes, but they do not apply the handles because it's harder to transport without the handles".  Then I asked them if they believe I got a floor model because the handles were on and they said, "yes".  
I was NOT happy....and now know why I had a weird feeling about it.
Bad business practice I think...and I'm still not happy about it.  But worse is that this stupid fridge is SO loud.  They've been out to see if it's broken 3 times and it's still very loud.  I might be exchanging this fridge, but I'm running out of energy to fight these battles nonstop.


OVEN
Where we live, appliance companies do not install appliances, however will give you a name of a partner company that does.
I'm sure they get a cut of the price because each appliance cost $125 and up.  EACH!!!!

Most people buy one appliance at a time, so I can understand them charging a "service fee" along with the installation fee, but they will only be coming to my house one time, but installing multiple appliances, so I thought my price should be less.  They said they'd take 5% off.  NO THANK YOU!
Rick talked to a friend that has installed before and they did it together....cha ching!

We finally worked up the nerve to turn on the oven.
