Because it's a free market?Why such a high quote for new windows?
So does anyone know why Global would charge so much?
Ok, but if you were qoting for a job you must know the going rate for such a job. If you wanted the business youd quote competitively, if youre a little bit higher due to materials or whatever then fine and we can understand that. I just cant see how they could justify a 100% larger price then the average of 9k. Im wondering if Im missing something other then free market rules.Because it's a free market?
Not necessarily. As per Leo's post some people may go for the most expensive quote that comes with the glossiest brochures and slickest sales people for a variety of reasons (inertia, FUD factor etc.) - even if they do get other lower quotes.Ok, but if you were qoting for a job you must know the going rate for such a job.

11 and 15 quotes - fair play to you both for shopping around anyway!
ok, I read the other threads, should have searched first. Just to tag on to this thread, we got the "sign tonight and we'll give you 10% off " line as well, that was before he gave me the quote. This was despite me telling the guy when he got there we wouldnt be making a decision until all quotes were back in. He was visibly disgusted with this, mrs Car was out at the the time as well and he didnt even want to give the sales pitch unless the 2 of us were there. He was trying to angle to come back when we both were there, after reading the other threads here I now know why.
If thats the only reason the quote was so high then fine.Global prob have a high margin low turnover business and obviously they feel it works well for them.
if he quoted 4k to me Id be wondering what Id be getting for my money so no it not all about money. There were several quotes cheaper then the company we went for.If he told you they'd do the job for 4k but only if you signed now I'd bet you'd make a decison there and then. So it is down to money.
We picked [broken link removed]for the most competitive quote for the quality we wanted (ie pilkington glass, stainless steel supports), theyre the distributors. They have dealer/agents countrywide and theyll send the nearest guy out to you. If theres noone near you I'll pm you the dealers number that we got. Sure get a quote anyway.can you provide the names of the window companies you got quotes off (besides Global) or found good...still looking for quotes myself
