    If I look at my quote, a lot of the stuff has been discounted more than 50% already. EG, 600 HL Base price £542.99. Discounted 70%. Price I pay £191.40 (incl VAT). Is that initial price really inflated to make it look like I've got a good deal? 70% off to me seems like I've got a good deal without 50% sale???

    wooshO 70% off for definate. Starts 1/10/2007 for 4days and you should be trade.


    So that's 140% off in total folks ! Get there early :D

    my local howdens have just rung me to say they are having
    A MAKE US AN OFFER WEEK:T

    Retail £6000:eek:
    Trade £1400:D

    How much do you think i could knock them down to:beer:
  • Can you just buy replacement doors at Howdens or do you have to buy the whole kitchen?
  • bump................
  • Howdens are only available to registered "trade" although the public can go in to look at/touch the product. They are quite strict about this unlike some other "trade" outlets.

    Do we know yet what the sale percentage etc is? Is it only for 4 days? Is the sale on all items ie worktops too?
  • just had a quote from howdens and they say i have to get it delivered by the 3rd nov to qualify for discount!! Have the quote in front of me but the prices before discount are stupid!!! £899 for integrated washer, £422 discount price. Got a quote from Mfi too and gonna play them off against each other. Mfi have already reduced the price by £500. Apparently the sale ends wednesday, YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!! So thick sometimes, salesmen....... looks like on worktops and appliances to me. Mfi wont do that, just on units..

    MFI will match/beat Howdens but remember Howdens are rigid built not flat pack.

    We have just had the Space Cream (Glendevon cream at Howdens)installed with handles/cornice from MFI,units from Howdens.... and it looks great.

    Howdens also threw in a free dishwasher to beat MFI......and we are private customers not trade!! but appliance doors do not have the correct hinge cut outs for a washer and need another hinge hole cut out by your fitter...we were not told this by Howdens!!

    Had Howdens in to quote for a kitchen... £2930. Went to B&Q and for the exact same kitchen £2317 with an additional 15% off. Howdens will do a price match.

    We know B&Q is flat pack and will mean a little extra work for our fitter, but B&Q beat Howdens on the magic corner. They do a 925mm corner cabinet, which is more efficient for us than Howdens 1000mm base.

    So Sorry howden's.
