Rip off plumbers merchant, Plumb Crazy.

Visited local plumbers merchant (plumb crazy helston cornwall) the other day and bought a small amount of plumbing materials. The bill came to £87 so on my return home checked prices at other builders/plumbers merchants also B&Q.
Imagine my surprise when i found that all the other suppliers charged at least half the price of plumb crazy who also advised me that i had been given 20% discount, what a load of rip off merchants.

    How is it a rip off? maybe you should have shopped about a bit first?
    nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to buy stuff from them.
    You must have been happy to pay the price at the time :confused:
    same old story of buyers regret...DOESN'T MEAN YOU'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF!!!!
  • A Rip Off is taken to be a bad deal by many people, it usually refers to a deal in which the person thinks they have paid to much for something.
    A feeling of being hard done by. But, thats life. Take care out there.
