Worst one I've been is on Berwick St in soho, tried to charge me £4 for a 15mm soldered cap. First time I wet my pants in public since I was 4
 
just priced 3 newbuilds cheapest quote came back from bumcenter:whatchutalkingabout much as I hate to use them I can't afford not to at the moment
 
Would have asked kindly to speak to woolsey accounts and simply tell them to close my account . We were once shafted by Pts . They overcharged grand or so in fittings one month. We used different branch - terms were not set. £7 for 28mm straight. Asked area rep to sort it .... He didn't. Paid account excluding what we were owed.

Told them where to go. Few letters few threats and that was it. Till we did about £5k of work in a Travis branch. - they wouldn't pay...... We got paid they still owed money. Not going there again
 
plumbase industrial in portsmouth,, they only have one bloke in there and he is a village.you end up going and picking your own fittings or wait for an hour while he looks at the computer screen finding the location of the fittings you want..
 
Think another company I worked for also had issues with pts, we all received email not to use anymore, best I could find out was it was over an invoice.
 
Branch manager could hit profit margin if they screwed "non native" accounts. Perfectly acceptable within system an no one accountable.
 
Banned from having an account at Plumbcenter for refusing to pay a £40 late payment charge, although as I know all the lads there I still buy some boiler spares from them if they are competitive
Banned from having an account at Travis as I ran up my old mans account when he was in hospital dying of cancer and I tried to get his dream new build finished so he could at least see it before he went, he didn't see it and when the then manager kept sending payment demands to my mother (after me taking a copy of his death cert in to the branch) I had a bit of a word with him. Result was him moved to another branch in a different part of the country and me recieving a letter telling me my custom was not welcome, or something like that
The only time I go into Travis now is to get a bacon roll of my old mates missuss burger van

Had a similar thing with Grahams got a quote for 2" galv barrel they came back with a 75% discount so we went with them as the job progressed we needed a load more of said pipe so ordered from Grahams guess what they charged full list price, Told them to do one they wouldn't reduce the price and we ended up closing our account paid what we thought we owed after a couple of months they stopped contacting us never used them again fecking scumbags:cuss:
