I was expecting a quote from the carpet company. As I did not hear anything I booked another company accepted their quote and paid 50% deposit. Today I received a quote  from the company, same carpet but at £500 cheaper. Am gutted. Thanks

    What do the Ts&Cs of the company you accepted the quote from and paid the deposit to say?

    Did you buy online or go to their shop?

    How many days have passed since you paid?
