What do you expect your old boss or Barclays to do about it??

Obviously the horse has bolted, but NEVER let doorstep salesmen in. Unfortunately most are either pushy and overpriced, or they're not who they say you are and will rob you (or plan to rob you).


Thankfully you didn't agree to anything!

How is this any different to any other salesman?

You invited them round to give you a quote ... they gave you a quote .. you said no, they lowered their quote, you still said no .. they left.
You then went to another company for another quote.

Fail to see what they did wrong.

A bit background i was out walking me dogs on monday and a i got collared by a sales guy for a kitchen company who also do double glazing etc etc. Our front doors on our ex council house were put in early 90's and are now drafty as hell one the locks knackered.

So anyway sales dude he knocked on the door as my 5 looney dogs were running around my kitchen, i agreed for a sales dude too come measure up and come back too get rid of him basically.

Now this is the fall off the chair minute he quoted us 5100 for 2 composite doors fully fitted or if we took it on finance 4500. Now when we said no he did the oh i have too ring me boss i at this point after listening too 20mins of crap asked him too leave. He dropped his price too 3500 still a rip off.

Can i name and shame on the forum here the name of the company??

Tim Healy does there adverts. We were gobsmacked my little bit inheritance off my gran who passed before easter i dont think will be 5000 lol

We have had subsequent quotes of 1900 for both doors

TBH, it doesn't sound much different to some of the other double glazing companies.

As long as he left when asked to, what really has he done wrong?

What can you report?

You asked for a quote, they gave you one, you declined so they used the standard format of calling the boss to reduce the price.

Other tactics are manager's special, discount because I sell so many etc etc

Normal dorrstep salesman technique.

We were quoted £2500( discounted because I get so many sales) for a front door by a well known double glazing firm.

Our local company charged £900.

Best way of getting doorstep salesman is just say 'its rented'. Works 100% of the time

Who forgot?

Did you include this information in any of your previous posts?

And maybe they did decide to do the job cheaper to avoid having fitters idle.
