I'm sure we've all either used or been used as part of the black economy, that does not mean a legitimate company can be called a rip off.
Time to call the job what it was, a 'foreigner' no way can proper business's compete price wise with them, nor should they be called just because they can't.
So ladies and gents, let's put this thread to bed, the vindictive amongst us will always call the true tradesman and any unfortunate soul that happens to point out that the thread shouldn't have been posted in the first place.

Define 'legitimate price'?
Asda pay taxes and overheads and can sell some of the exact same items that they sell at 33% knockdown.
A local bed centre with same overheads and taxes can sell the exact same mattress at less than 2/3 the price that they charge.
You can buy the same rise/fall recliners at a Whitebirk store that are sold by them, again at roughly 2/3 the price...I guess they have similar overheads and taxes to pay too.
The people that actually work in the shop are friendly, caring and fall over backwards to help..
But that still doesn't excuse the fact that the people in the backroom who set the prices in this company are taking advantage of the word 'disability' to artificially inflate their selling and maintenance prices...
So..that's me, Boxermum, Retlaw and Cashy who have had dealings with them holding similar opinions..
Have you had any dealings with them?
