So my missus gets a call last week from Anglian, who fitted her double glazing a few years back. She rather stupidly tells them she was in the market for a new front door, which is true. They called back last week and said can someone come over to quote her. I told her not to do it, but she decided to anyway.
So some huge bloke turns up at hers this morning and asks her if she lives alone. She wisely said she lives with her partner but they (me), are out at the moment.
He measures up, sits himself down and tells her the best price he can do is £1800.00 for a UPVC door. Yep, £1800.00. She tells him no way. He goes down to £1500.00. Finally he tells her a grand, but only if she signs now. He also said she can sign up and when I get back and decided I don't like it, we can cancel.
She said no thanks, but thanks for the quote and she will bear it in mind. He then gets all aggressive saying there is no way she can get a door fitted for less and basically she is a dumb woman who has no idea what she is doing.
She then stands up, tells him to politely leave. He refused and said she needs to sign. She then tells him she will call the Police at which point he gets up, calls her an idiot and walks out, get is his car and wheelspins up her road.
Is was underatdably upset but to top it all off, he has just called and and said she lied to them and said I was going to be there when he came round!
Apparently her thousand pound deal lasts until 5pm lol. Are these people for real? I have just been quoted a composite door fitted from a local place for £500.00.
Anyway, sales scum, wall of text, cool story bro, etc etc.
