Thomas Sanderson blinds- anyone?

Knownowt, 4 August, 2009 at 11:09 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 8

TS are coming round to give me a quote for venetian blinds. On the phone they were v keen to ensure that both H and I would be there, which to me is the sign of hard sell shysters (they want to close the deal there and then so don't want to give you the easy way out of saying "I must talk to my H") Does anyone know if they're ok?

    I'm sure I read on here last week that somebody's OH had just started working for them. Hopefully she'll spot this and come on. I'm sorry that I can't remember who it was.

    My sister used to work there - they are HARD sellers, but they do have nice quality blinds, just stand your ground - they cant force you to part with your money

    Good luck

    I had them around a couple of months ago and they do apply the hard sell. The guy wanted me to call my H who was at work and get an answer from him there and then. He even hung around cos my H was busy and said he'd call back later. He was at mine for over 2 hours. I went with a local company in the end.

    What about making an appointment with Hillary's? I found their prices really reasonable - maybe you could tell TS that you have an appointment with Hillary's the following evening and you won't make a decision until you've got their quote? Give you some breathing space?

    I have blinds from TS, I didn't particulary find them hard sellers, although tbh I had made up my mind before they came that I wanted them (they were specific blinds though and I couldn't find anyone else that made them)

    Thanks everyone. Well, the guy has been and he was fine- no hard sell at all. He has also intrigued me the idea of shutters instead of blinds, hmmmmm...expensive though compared to our local company (who also seem very good).
