Where to buy new boiler ASAP?

Just phone them up and tell them you've seen the item elsewhere much cheaper and can they do you a deal.

I have bought stuff from them at considerable discount before. The price in the catalogue should really be seen as just advisory.

Agreed. Catalogue prices are meaningless. Best to walk up to counter with a line something like: "Forget the retail price, how much are you seriously going to ask for XYZ boiler" Certainly PTS gave a pretty near web price when approached in this manner. Also PTS were running and Energy Smart (or similar label) boiler scheme recently for so-called-discounts, that could be worth a mention.

Use words like "what is the best price you have on xxx boiler". "have on" is powerful in trade parley.

Well I did walk in there, and guess what - the price I got was a much more reasonable =A3594 + VAT, which is pretty close to the best online price. I didn't even have to show them my list of online bargains. They are doing themselves a major disservice by listing such high catalogue prices.

You'd be used to jumping to that.

Please eff off as you are a total plantpot.

Please see the ection about Ebay in the BoilerChoice FAQ.

Not really. Some people are willing to pay retail without asking for a better price. Why would they leave money on the table?

It's always possible to drop prices, but a little trickier to increase them after making the first offer.

the boiler and flue. We already have TRVs and a timer. This plumber=20 relocated our boiler last year, so he's familiar with our setup.
