But what a fantastic idea, book them all to come round on the same day at the same time and watch the hilarity unfold.

Gavin - simply go out and price the glass and frames individually and see what it comes to. The only reason they descend to these shoddy practices are because they know the figures don't add up.

They were complete cowboys and kept bugging me. It was originally a £16,000 kitchen (a joke, as the kitchen was 3m by 1.3m) priced down to £10,000 if I agreed to sign there and then - the sale ended that day. I said no. They called the next day and it was £8,000 if I agreed then. And the following week, it was down to £6,000. And of course, the sale always ended the next day. I told them to stop bothering me as I don't deal with liars and I would tell all of my friend just what the company stood for - and they threatened to take me to court for something or other (libel, defamation.. can't remember). I then told them that I had recorded the conversation and was going to send it to watchdog - they out down the phone and never called back :) Don't deal with companies like this... ever.

I suppose, however, that there are aways gullible people around who respond to this kind of thing There have been so many similar stories about this firm (and some others in the same business) on various of the consumer watchdog programmes over the years that I am surprised they still think they can get away with these tactics.
