Shipping failed

2 month ago, Xxxxx, from the shipping company, asked me for an address to deliver our furniture. The furniture was already in Bombay, and it was waiting for us in the harbour. I gave him the address and explained to him that the delivery will take place most likely in mid feb.

Here is the conversation I had today

Me: Good morning Xxxxx.
Xxxxx: Goo morning Sir.
Me: Like we discussed 2 month ago, I confirm that you can deliver the goods on the 15th of Feb.
He: No problem Sir
Me: Thank you Xxxx. Anything needed you let me know.
He: Yes Sir. Can you just contact the office in TW ?
Me: Sure. Why is that ?
He: They need your confirmation for the shipping.
Me: What shipping ?
He: Your furniture.
Me: My furniture ?
He: Yes Sir.
Me: Why do they need a confirmation ? The furniture arrived in Bombay 2 month ago !
He: Heu, sorry sir, there was a problem.
Me: A problem ?
He: There was a mistake Sir. Your furniture is still in Taiwan.

We should receive our furniture in March...
