Sanderson's Blinds. Again.

BlueBella

Thanks CheCazzo! Seriously, I don't know why they keep ringing because every time they do I harshly tell them that I am not interested and hang up! I think I will tweet (then everyone will see they are harassing callers!)

This makes me chuckle. Not for you guys recieving the calls, but for a company that obviously believes harassing people is good business practice.

They are not exactly putting faith into the general public that they would be a good company to deal with if someone did want blinds.

I hate being hassled but it is sometimes the price we pay for entering comps. I won a dog food hamper a few years ago from a company and even now they still ring me to ask how the dog is and ask me if I would like to place an order. My dog did enjoy the food I won but their food is so expensive and I don't want to order from them. I feel really bad saying no to them but they still keep ringing me!

CheCazzo

Yes Bella - when that happens to me I do just tell them that I love their product but I simply can't afford it - in the past I've had money off vouchers sent or the person has been so embarrassed (the intended result!) that I've never heard from them again

I received a box of crisps once which were really lovely but you can't buy them in Scotland and the postage would have made each bag cost almost double that of my usual Asda / Tesco bought ones if ordering online. If they sold them up here though...:drool:

if they ask why you entered tell them you wanted to sell the blinds on ebay!!

I've just remembered something else Sanderson's said to me when I told them to remove my number ' If we remove your number how will we contact you if you win?' (perhaps send a letter?) it's obviously something that's said to them so often they have a daft answer ready.

I think I commented 'Does anyone ever win?' and they didn't have a stock answer for that.

Shouldn't they be publishing the winners names somewhere?

They phoned me yesterday saying I had won a runner up prize of a £50 voucher.

I said to them "Have I won 1st prize"
There reply was they hadn't drawn any winners yet
My reply "So how could I have won a prize if you have not yet drawn any winners?"

I stated I had never given them permission to phone me - and to never phone me again - the bloke on the other end of the phone then started to get clever..... he will get clever when the TPS contact them


I have just reported them to the TPS this morning - let's hope they get the £500,000 fine for cold calling people

Do Sandersons ever take NO for an answer.
4 calls yesterday and they have just started again today. I just got ratty with the sales girl saying that they are harassing me and to take my number off their lists... not expecting that to work though :mad:

Sandersons never call me - maybe there's something wrong with me

... and "maybe" might be redundant.

Tell them the dog died and you don't appreciate them reminding you.
