  • I don't enter any Thomas Sanderson comps, even if they are not for blinds. They're the only company I've ever had spam mail & calls from.

    I had a call from them today too. They were very insistent on a designer coming around and I was going to make an appointment to see if it was worth it, but they kept on asking when we would both be in to make a decision and really got me annoyed. I just told them to forget it in the end.

    I got a letter AND a phone call yesterday.
    Him "you entered our competition"
    me "Yes"
    Him "but you didn't win but we can offer you £250 off"
    me "yeah I know I got the letter"
    him "oh"
    me "right then bye"
    him "so what shutters were you interested in"
    me "none"
    him "oh"
    me "bye"

    He was soo shocked at my answer I had a little giggle to myself, I never get away with such easy cold calls usually lol

    My advice - tell them you got a comping addiction (not a lie is it....) and that you don't want any shutters/blinds and you are going to Compers annon for your addiction - see how that gets them lol

  • I also just got the call, said to the woman could she call back she did seem very nice and said at the end of the call "once again congratulations"

    Then came on here to see if i had entered, and thankfully found this thread.

    I will be ignoring these calls, thanks for the heads up.
    :cool2:THANKS TO ALL COMPETITION POSTERS:hello:

    So they are still making out that the discount is a win? Ridiculous!
  • I had one aswell, fair play the man was really nice. Told them I live in a private rented house. And that I want going to buy blinds and only to maybe move in a year or so. They can't say much after that.
    Thank you to all the posters

    I had this about 6 months ago, even once on my home phone which I never use for comps!
    Kayles86 I too never give out home phone number on competitions, I have missed 3 calls today from unknown numbers on competition phone and 3 on home phone according to my son who is home today! I spoke to them 2 days ago and said not interested unless they could supply me shutters for £250 I had no spare money to pay anything on top.
