Homebase kitchen quote - how to get a discount?

Scarlet12

We have a quote from homebase for purchasing the kitchen and for installation but need to cut the costs down before we can buy it. We don't really have time to try and find a local fitter to install the kitchen even though we know it would be cheaper so were hoping to get homebase to do the job.

We have tried to get the guy in homebase who did the design to budge on the price but he won't. Does anyone know if there is room for them to move on the price? Is it possible or are their prices set in stone? We haven't received any additional discounts, not even for fitting. If there is some flexibility, what is the best way to go about negotiating a discount?

We'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer us. Many thanks in advance.

Could you not go find a different homebase store and speak to somebody else. If quotes are exactly the same then theres your answer. You might meet a more flexible person. Might be worth giving your parents address though incase they have databased your original quote.

Homebase fitting costs are very expensive to the customer and normally on 6-8 weeks from buying the kitchen. Im sure in this time you could find a local fitter and probably save yourself a couple of grand in the process
