Me and my misses went out today to look at a few leather suites. We went to the local retail park where there are 5 suitable shops in a row. As you walk through the door they are on you. and then they wont leave you alone have you considered this and that and it makes you feel like walking out the door and forgetting the whole idea. Anyway we put up with this bloke and we found a lovely suite. Right he says. You can have this on a 4 year term at £40 PM or interest free blah blah blah. I said that I didnt want to finance the deal I want to just buy the suite with cash. Oh he said you cant really do that?????????

 

I was so shocked that I thought I had heard him wrong. But no thats exactly what he said. The shop cant take your money. The only way around the problem is they take a 20% deposit (TODAY) and then arrange some way of paying the shop other than paying outright.

 

After all this he tells us that it will take a minimum of 12 weeks to get the suite to us. !2 bloody weeks is a quarter of a year. I basically told him what to do with the thing and left.

 

We looked elsewhere but still havent found anything as good yet :( But we will :)

Yeah thats how it is nowadays mate.

Its a bloody joke!!! FFS you'd think if someone wants to buy something they'd bite your bloody hand off!!! :rant:

Go to the 'leather studio' think thats their name! , on way out of bedford turn left past where old garage was, on way towards great barford/st.neots, goldington road end.

They were amazing, WE LOST £250 DEPOSITWITH THEIR COMPETTITION OVER THE ROAD WHEN THE TOSSPOTS WENT BUST(WE HAD PAID CASH DEPOSIT).

Leather studio got us a better suite, for £600 cheaper than we were going to pay the big dfs? store + they followed us home to deliver it.Even chucked in cleaning + treatments free.Cant praise them enough!

Vin, sounds like you were in Mumbai! :rofl:

 

Something similar happened to me when I was in India. Went into a shop to have a look at some rather ornate chess sets and the guy tried to sell me everything under the sun. As soon as I told him I didn't want to buy a friggin' carpet, he tried selling me hash! Mondo Bizarro it was!

Vin, sounds like you were in Mumbai! :rofl:

 

Well I did think I was going to open my BOMBAY doors and let one go Si. :tongue::rofl:

After a Deli Belly I hope! :rofl:

PMSL the bloke was an Asian guy. He was very nice but then he would be as the suite was going to cost just over £2,000. I have found the same thing online at the furniture warehouse for £1,300. But thats a 12 week wait too. I will go to that place Bigsimon mentioned and have a gandi :D

It's 'Ghandi'. ;) hehe

It's 'Ghandi'. ;) hehe
