Bath Store haggling?

I know they are not particularly cheap (even with current offers) but they have some specifically slim size stuff in a range I need.

Does anyone know if they haggle? especially if your spending a few hundred quid?

I think they are franchise stores so it would depend on the store you went to.

& a couple of hundred isn't much money to anyone in that business. They like the people who spend a couple thousand.

If you contacted the online store it may be different.

yes they do, ask for 10%-15% discount, tell them your trade, if spending a bit

Yes - I managed to negotiate a 10% discount off sale prices. Just be persistent and charming

If you're not trade that would be misrepresentation n'est pas? Just be honest and say if they want your biz they have to do better on their prices.

I've worked for them - to be honest you'd have no chance of a discount on a spend of a couple of hundred quid, as the vast majority of customers spend well over £1000. We'd only ever discount on sales of £3k+, and even then it was rare.

A few hundred quid is a lot to you (and me!) but peanuts to them.

Can't hurt to ask though!

I always haggle for anything over £100. They can only say "No". Once I have got the best price I can on the 'Net, I then see if anyone else who I have not spoken to already will beat it.

Remember, no one (should) sell at a loss so a haggle is always worth it.

Thanks, I was looking at spending around £600

It seems they are owned by the same company as plumbcentre.. can I not just get the same stuff there cheaper?

You will probably get a better deal at a local plumbers merchant.

I spent £600 in the sales, and got about £100 knocked off it.......... highly recommend haggling, it worked!
