nomoss Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I called an electrical supplier recently for a price of an item. They refused to give me a price, said they could not do this over the phone, and told me I have to go there.I have had a similar problem with batteries.What are they worried about? Are they paranoid or are their staff just lazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoss Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 [quote user="Iceni"] Why won't you go to the shop ? Paranoia or laziness ? [:)]John[/quote]Neither. Do you have a problem understanding the use of a telephone for an obvious purpose?I would have thought it is pretty obvious. But :-I want to compare prices.The shops are miles away.I don't want to waste my time driving around shops and queueing up just to ask prices.I want to let my fingers do the walking.

Clair Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I came across this too when I wanted a quote for over materials worth around €1700.I got immediate phone quotes from Chausson, Point P and Gedimat and they all followed up with an immediate email breakdown.However, a shop I have used very frequently before said they would only give quotes over the counter. Guess who I didn't bother with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
