Secretes of the Discount Stores???

[village idiot]

It's a must watch. How we are being scammed.

 

[lame plumber]

the same way youve always been scammed

 

[village idiot]

Most probably, but I had no idea I was being scammed through?
Could have summat 2do with my low IQ if dyxlexiahs.
I'll give you a good example: Baxi literature said: Fit two Baxi Avanta boilers and get a FREE Work trousers or Winter Jacket. I hurriedly fitted four baxi Avanta exclusive boilers and sent in my request for a 'free' winter jacket. Then I get a phone call. '' hello village idiot, we have checked your Works account with baxi and you do not qualify for a free jacket''

i went ballistic, ranting and raving, quoting them their 'offer'. They told me to calm down. They will check my account again and call me back. Twenty minutes later, I get a call. ''Hello village idiot, you fitted the wrong boilers. To qualify for the promotion you're referring to, you needed to fit the baxi platinum boilers, not baxi Avanta exclusive ones''.

Am I thick or whart? If only I had read the literature/promotion properly? Now I'll have to go through the winter without any warm clothing? May be I should blackmail them into sending me a jacket afta all. I should threaten to return to fitting Worcester Bosch boilers. That will make them sit up and listen. I feel cheated though.

sorry but choosing a boiler to fit as u get a freebie isnt the way to keep customer loyalty over the years!!

Shut up Lame. Are you trying to ruin me? Selling boilers by giving away cheap trinkets is my stock in trade.

Although there have been times when I thought I should charge £600 for the trinkets and give the boilers away.

The platinum snickers jackets are really nice too!

Well, that was not my initial reason for fitting them!
Baxi held an open day at Epsom Downs. We were well fed and plenty of free alcohol to go round. Also various free prices including a boiler for the lucky basteward whose name got pulled out of the hat.
So their marketing strategy had worked. Plenty of access within the boiler, easy to repair, 'easy to fit', blah, blah, blab. Plus the encouraged me to attend a free training in Dartford. And when I got sent the literature/promotion by post, I just assumed it was to do with the Avanta range of boilers. Daft!!! So putting all that together, I had opted to make fitting their boilers my first choice. Will have to reconsider.
