Re: Holy Moly Thats Expensive!!
Tell me about it, we have had a run on Britannia cookers. All of their parts are a ridiculous price, plus they charge about £10 postage.

Interesting as I found that as well when I enquirer about a part for one, it was a stupid price if memory serves me.
Don’t even bother now, just let the poor soul toodle off and discover for themselves how much they’ve been… sorry, going to be reamed on after sales and try to resist the urge to tell them that they really should have bought the Rangmaster.

Re: Holy Moly Thats Expensive!!
How do Britannia get away with it? surely they should have to supply parts at a reasonable price. Because at the end of the day they are pricing us out of the job! which is what the car industry started doing and ended up getting a big slap on the wrist,and told to play fair. Why can’t the white goods industry do the same?

I thought I should rekindle this one for the amusement of all, I called Brittania today for the price of a ceramic top for one of their cookers and was told £1253.98 PLUS £9.95 for postage, you would think for that price they would at least throw in free delivery :rotfl:

Contact Mr Bo Fang here
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/32983 … Hinge.htmlHe normally wants about £1 a set for orders of 5000 pcs but if you offered him a bit more he may oblige and do a smaller amount. 😈
Only joking but thats what this stuff really costs

Re: Holy Moly Thats Expensive!!
After fixing a lady’s Hotpoint WML Washer, bra wire got caught along with 4 hairpins broke off all three paddles which I replaced the lot for £18 plus call out charge. I learnt that she was charged £17 for one paddle from a local domestic appliance shop previously before called me out. This was supply only, all she had to do is pick it up from the shop.
I am shocked to learn that someone down the road decided to charge more than 4 times the cost price. Not sure of my maths but isn’t that 400{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} markup?
