Booked an appointment with a company to get a price for replacing windows and doors. Salesman came, gave us a price that we simply can’t afford right now, so we said we appreciated his time and it’s something we’ll have to save up a bit longer for.
He was polite, but clearly unhappy and pissed off. I get it, it felt like a waste of time for him. We’ve had a few tradesman quoting for various things recently and I wondered, how am I meant to find out how much things are going to cost without “wasting someone’s time?” Is there a way?
I hate upsetting people but equally I don’t like being made to feel bad for not just immediately saying yes take my money.
So, am I being unreasonable for asking for quotes from people in order to get an idea of costings, when I know that I probably won’t be able to afford it immediately?
