carron will only trade to merchants, as i had to purchase my bath from plumb centre tho i got it as there cost price which was not bad

Depends who you know but i've been around for a while :wink:
Btw next time you are in pts and see Derek tell him big Tam says he is a robbing bstd (i tell him that every time i see him) and no wonder i don't spend fk all with them and i'm spending it with scum centre :smile:

 

[smtplumbing]

You down my neck of the woods alot? Wee Alan is good for pricing

 

[tamz]

Swapped a boiler in Antonio's (Grahams road) last wed but Gianni is a tight bstd too. I near had to hair pull him to get some cash :lol:

 

[smtplumbing]

Have u seen his prices. He is really tight.are you commercial btw

 

[tamz]

He's a robbing bstd but his stuff is nice and the pannini's from the bistro are excellent but i get them for free . I took a good whack off him the other day.
Commercial: allegedly until 14 April. I'm pondering about renewing it as i'm not really into that anymore but i can get anything signed off if i need to. Its all about who you know :wink:

I used to use Plumbnation quite a bit, but have totally gone off them. You can't call them when your order doesn't turn up; you can only email and they'll respond within 24 hrs. My last two orders didn't turn up, and after a few emails (and several days!), all I could get was they would email me when it gets dispatched.
No good when you're waiting to book the job in...

 

[smtplumbing]

that because they dont stock nothing they just use pts if pts has no stock then you hear nothing.

Thats one thing with ray if hes not got it he will say to you not instock but will be here next day, or will go and find it (well ian did) from an other branch,

Discounted Heating is owned by Plumb Center no ain't it Ray?

It is now. Rumour has it that PlumbCentre only took it over because the alternative was an enormous bad debt.

Ray u getting a 4% bump on wb?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Ray u getting a 4% bump on wb?

Yep. 4.2% to be precise, theoretically effective 1st April, but it will be May before we increase sell out prices.

Vaillant have already gone up on 1st March. Glowworm go up 1st April. Baxi have announced 1st June (on Baxi brand only), and Ideal rumoured to be following on same day as Baxi, but probably not all products.

Hi Kev

The order came through ok, but something happened at the payment processing stage. Thats not part of the system that I can get into, for obvious reasons, but we have the order details and I will get someone to phone you to deal with payment on Monday.

In the meantime I will pass on the error message to Advantec for their techies.

Ta for the order.

Thats a good sign. It should say that until we ship, which will be some time on Monday.

Ta Ray.
Could you get someone to confirm so I know if its necessary to reorder it.

 

[Ray Stafford]

No worries. One of the guys will call on Monday, sort out payment and probably try to talk you into adding something else to the order before we ship.

Ray, are the column radiators you do on the site? I cant find them and would like to order one.

 

[Gray0689]

Just out of curiosity what would it cost to delivery to NI obviously not a very small order

Just out of curiosity what would it cost to delivery to NI obviously not a very small order

Minumum charge, any weight up to 20kgs, £21.40 plus VAT

A domestic boiler, flue kit and a few bits - in a wooden packing crate, weighing say 60kgs on the same standard service as we use on UK mainland - £48.15 + VAT

Small pallet, up to 500kgs. To Belfast £93.09 + VAT, elsewhere in NI, £99.50 plus VAT.

I am sure that we could get that down by using cheaper carriers, but my experience of using cheap carriers is that you end up regretting it.

On a boiler order, once we had paid for credit card processing fees, packaging materials and shipping, we would have lost money.

TBH, its bad enough to sell a boiler on its own on the mainland. We probably lose money on that if I allow anything for labour, after card processing, packaging, biccies and carriage. Which is why the sales guys will work so hard to get an addition to the order - add a flue kit, magnaclean and 2 bottles of sentinel to the order, and it probably triples our profitability.

No I don't think they are. Would you like me to get someone to call you on Monday?

 

[mfgs]

No I don't think they are. Would you like me to get someone to call you on Monday?

No, its ok, I will either call up or pop in to my local branch.
