Carpetright breaking oft regulations!

So when will you finally admit you are either a rival firm or an employee of one.
At the end of the day nobody cares......go to the oft or fo.
??? It's precisely because of people like you that this site is here... wrong attitude indeed! Martin Lewis would be ashamed of you! I know i am!0 -
As a side note, our local carpetright actually has some spectacular prices on pre-cut rolls (which I assume to be the end of rolls / unused bits). You'd be able to carpet a small room for as little as £12.0

... and you still haven't answered the question.
You're coming across as a bitter competitor, and the longer you go without answering the question, the more people will assume you are promoting your own agenda with this thread.0 -
They are making a saving on the retailers usual price.
I understand the points your making, just don't agree with it. Infact i'm afraid I think it's a very unbalanced view.
They are paying for a carpet they believe has a value equal to the quality.... A carpet with an average value across the industry of £10m2 is valued by Carpetright at £20m2 then say reduced to £9.99m2 ... the customer is still buying a product they believe is worth twice that... therefore they are being conned into buying an inferior product than they are led to believe it is!! They save nothing, carpetright gets the custom, the customer has to replace the carpet much earlier than they would expect, customer loses!
SIMPLE!!!
You cannot agree as you have no idea of carpet quality & value of each product.. which i do! Just accept the education & allow yourself to be enlightened, you will be better equipped for it!0 -
If you actually believe they are getting a carpet for less than half it's value then you are seriously wrong.
Why don't you admit your company is taking a pasting for it's expensive range.0 -

Thats available anywhere else as well, just because they want rid of it.. nothing special there i can assure you0 -

So if this example is typical of what happens that would mean that carpetright are selling them at what everybody else should be anyway. In my experience everybody else is way more expensive.0 -

????? read the post! The customer believes they are getting it for less than half its value not me lol! You have just realised what i'm saying as it would be absurd to think they would sell at less than half the value wouldn't it.... how can any retailer offer 70% off or less than half price without making a loss?0 -
This guy is seriously deluded, I would suggest you all stop feeding the troll.Thinking critically since 1996....0
