If they haven't fitted it, you can't force them to proceed. If they done the job, then wanted to double the price, it'd be a different matter.
You've given your credit card details, but have they taken any money off you? If I were you I'd get a refund and go elsewhere.0 -

Lol, think I jumped the gun a bit!If they haven't fitted it, you can't force them to proceed. If they done the job, then wanted to double the price, it'd be a different matter.
I only thought it had been fitted because, if it hasn't then I don't seen an issue. Just tell them it's too much and go elsewhere.

But look on the bright side - you can now go to a local independent carpet firm, who will give you better service at a better price.0
