Have you found a website offering
cut price everything and anything? Or been offered a price
match? Consider this before you proceed....
You probably wouldn't buy a car at the
green grocer's shop, so why would you consider buying a specialist
piece of plumbing equipment from a cut-price website that tries to
sell everything cheap? Buying from a seller that doesn't specialise
can be a recipe for disaster. How can they advise on product
suitability? What will you or they do if you
have a problem or technical issue after purchase?
Maybe you've been
offered the famous 'Price Match'? Beware, although the thought of
saving a few pounds will clearly sound tempting you are just about to be
sucked in by somebody who was actually trying to over-charge you
moments ago! Don't confuse these people with well-meaning brethren
of saintly origin, they simply hope you'll accept their offer as
confirmation of the 'best price already'. In reality they're letting
you do the legwork. Their offer should therefore read...
"OK guv, now you've caught me at
it I'll charge you the proper price!"
Do you really want to go back to the
company who were trying to pick your pockets? If you mean that
little as a customer what sort of after sales service can you
expect? You are about to make your bed so be prepared to lie down on
it.
The meagre amount you might save
playing dutch auctions might end up costing you dearly, both
financially and in terms of inconvenience. We're sure you probably know the kind of 'cut-price'
websites we mean. You really don't need to forfeit quality of
service just to get a good deal.
There's an old saying... "In life
there's never a free lunch." In part this applies to 'bargain
shopping'. If it's looks too good to be true it probably is. You
might end up with nothing but trouble.
By doing our job properly we don't
rely on a price promise. Our advice is - consider carefully before you
buy. Many websites are set up by people who spend their day on the
golf course. Your shopping cart order awaits them upon return. To
them you
are easy money. No overheads, no customer service. What a life!
Price is important to us all, but
don't let the rogue element mess with your hard earned money. If the
seller knows little about the product they offer then clearly your
money is their ONLY objective. As for price matchers... if you
really want to play their ridiculous game then -
Caveat Emptor (Buyer beware!!)
We don't play games. Care
and great prices have been part of our standard service for years.
