No, you are not being unreasonable about the granite. It comes across as a ploy from them to get people to buy through sheer desperation.
I think it should be illegal to have something for sale without displaying the price.Fashion on a ration 2024 66/66 coupons remaining

No prices up front, It sounds bonkers to me. If Mr Cheery was not so set on granite I would have suggested the online worktop company we got our solid wood work surfaces from. Based down South but delivered to us in Yorkshire and they did our 4 meter and 3 meter worktops in single long pieces which we wanted. Think it was way under 1000 delivered . I am so pleased we wanted wood. Hope you get it sorted soon6

Thanks both. I had a rant at the builder this morning - he agreed it was ridiculous and suggested a couple of places he uses so we may end up visiting those on Friday.
I did speak to the granite people this morning - they've said now we've got a quote, they can tell us which ones will be cheaper than it 🙄 so clearly they DO have a rough list, they just won't tell anyone! Agreed to come anyway this morning (we already had a plan for breakfast in a nearby cafe 😂) but if they're a pain in the !!!!!!, we'll definitely be going to the other place. Builder is going on have a word with the kitchen fitters too, to see why they're so set on this place (which I assume is code for telling them how annoyed I am 😂)
Might also try to talk Mr Cheery into a wooden worktop instead!7 -
Right, been to the granite place again, guy seemed almost annoyed that we wanted to see cheaper ones, basically just pointed at about 6 then wandered off, couldn't find him again without ringing the bell at the office, which seemed pointless so we just left. Not feeling any kind of customer service from them!
Kitchen geezers have been in touch with their supplier, who won't give them any proces either, because it all depends on how easy it is to cut, whether he's got it in stock, the phase of the moon, or whatever.
The granite guy did let slip that of the two cheapest we'd been quoted, one was quite a lot more expensive than the other. Interesting, given that we've been given exactly the same price for both (and I'm betting ut's not the cheapest price!)
So basically ally the whole thing has left a bit of a sour taste and I think we'll be looking elsewhere... 🙄7 -
After all, the messing about that they have been doing I think you are right to walk away. Think if they make it this difficult to buy from them how impossible it will be if you have any problems with the product.Fashion on a ration 2024 66/66 coupons remaining

I think you've been incredibly patient with them Cheery and I don't blame you in the slightest for walking away - I would have done some time ago. They are completely unreasonable and clearly don't want your business (one has to wonder how they stay in business though?)!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Have you considered/looked at Corian work tops? Lots of choice and cheaper than granite.6

If people want your money, they should be prepared to put a modicum of effort into earning it. I would have walked away from these granite people long ago.
Speaking of plasterers - son has just discovered that his (new to him) flat needs completely replastering. He didn't ask us, we suspected he would discover this once he removed the wallpaper!It's not difficult!
