Dallas Wayfair Buyer Hires Man To Build Bed. Then Woman Comes To Install It After Its Built: 'That's Sketchy'

'Everyone is traumatized after that UPS video right now, I'd be freaking out too!'

A Dallas woman ordered a canopy bed from Wayfair and hired the company to build it at her home. A man arrived and built it for her, but then, another person showed up at her doorstep hours later, claiming that they were there to assist with the bed.

Confused, Lily Rose (@remmy2skreet), described the situation to her TikTok audience in a video posted on Dec. 28, which has since garnered 1.4 million viewers. The person who arrived around six hours after someone from Wayfair had already built her bed reportedly walked around the property to look inside her open garage and other areas of her home. Later confirmation with Wayfair indicated that only one person was supposed to arrive that day, adding to Lily Rose’s suspicions.

Why Did 2 People Arrive to Complete 1 Wayfair Job?

Lily Rose was supposed to receive a redelivery for a package that accidentally got damaged in transit. So, Wayfair communicated that a handyman would come to her home to help assemble the bed sometime after delivery. First, they would drop off the new bedframe in the entryway. Then, 30 minutes to an hour before the handyman arrived, she would receive a text indicating that he was dropping by.

At around 1 p.m. that day, a man in an official Wayfair truck arrived at her home and assisted her with her canopy bed. She gave him some water, thanked him, and sent him on his way.

But then, at 6:30 p.m., she heard several knocks at the door that she wasn’t expecting.

Lily Rose Sees a Woman Outside Her Home

When she peered outside to look at the unexpected guest, she saw a young woman standing at her doorway.

“It’s a white girl, a white skinny girl with a pink jacket on, and her hair was in a bun,” Lily Rose said. The woman was driving a black Honda, which Lily Rose could see through her blinds.

She says she was immediately cautious after seeing a trending video about a FedEx delivery. Based on several comments, she seems to be referring to a video of a fake UPS delivery that ended in tragedy after a former UPS worker in clothes similar to a uniform and two other suspects, one also wearing what looked like a uniform and the other carrying a box, invaded a Minnesota family’s home and shot three of the members.

She didn’t want to open the door, as she was in the house alone that day. Her bedmate wasn’t going to be home all night.

She decided to stall answering the door and wait a bit to see if the woman would leave. Horrifyingly, she didn’t. She started walking around the property, looking into her garage and even walking inside the open doorway to peer inside her private dwelling. The woman continued walking around her home, so Lily Rose decided to call the police.

Police Arrive and Speak to the Woman

When police officers arrived at the house, they immediately spoke to the woman. According to her, she was there to build Lily Rose’s bed. This was confusing, as someone had arrived hours earlier to build it, and Lily Rose couldn’t imagine someone as small as the woman actually building a bed frame on her own.

The police escorted the woman off her property. Still curious, Lily Rose contacted Wayfair to see if a woman was supposed to come to her home. Wayfair then confirmed that only one representative from the company was sent to her address.

“So, there wasn't supposed to be a girl coming out?” Lily Rose asked the customer representative.

Wayfair reconfirmed that no woman was supposed to arrive at her door. Instead, a “guy named Timothy” was supposed to assemble the bed.

So, the man who arrived at 1 p.m. appeared to be the correct handyman assigned to come and build the bed. The woman did not seem associated with Wayfair in any capacity.

“I don't know what the [expletive] just happened,” Lily Rose told her viewers. “That [expletive] is sketch, and I'm freaked out right now, and I don't know what the [expletive] to do.”

Why Did the Woman Come to Her Home?

Based on Lily Rose’s story, it appeared as though the woman had prior knowledge that she was receiving a delivery from Wayfair that day. However, Wayfair directly confirmed that she did not appear connected to the company. The company didn’t seem to have sent an additional worker out by accident, so it’s unlikely that the girl in the pink jacket was telling the truth.

Some commenters pointed to a nefarious theory. “That Wayfair guy peeped that you’re alone and they’re setting up a robbery/home invasion. You need to file a police report about the whole entire situation just so it’s on file in case anything happens.”

Other commenters claimed that Wayfair was connected to human trafficking. As one commenter mentioned, "Wayfair has been known for trafficking…" referencing a previous scandal connected to Wayfair’s furniture names. However, there have been no credible reports that Wayfair has been involved in human trafficking.

In 2020, QAnon popularized theories that Wayfair used furniture listing names as a front to sell children. That theory has largely been debunked, or at the very least, proven to have no supporting evidence.

Another, more innocuous theory that commenters proposed was that the woman was the delivery man’s boyfriend. She went to the house to “make sure” he was actually doing his job and wasn’t cheating on her.

“My thoughts… [were] that the guy that built ur bed is the girl’s boyfriend and she [saw] that he was at [your] house and didn't believe him when he told her that he was building the bed for you,” one commenter shared.

Despite this, viewers recommended that Lily Rose continue documenting anything that transpires in the coming weeks and consider additional safeguards for her home.
