Travis Perkins over charging?

[^woody^]

There is a Wickes superstore, near me and in the massive carpark, instead of disabled, or mom and toddler parking bays near the front of the store, the bays are actually designated for builders vans!

Hello again, we recently had 15 bags of cement delivered with many other items-breeze blocks and the price has gone up yet again. Our latest bill is for 7.36 ex vat per bag of blue circle mastercrete in plast 25kg. Now we have used this cement but this price is just so wrong. What can we do about the stupid costs-can we go and argue about the cost in our local store etc?

You were robbed. I've just logged on to TP and been quoted a price of only £7.28 per bag.

after all the comments you havent bartered a discount yet

you need to get down there and negotiate a discount or you will walk

Don't use Travisty Perkins they make 5hite trusses over charge for any and everything they can with lazy staff

The reality is that they probably haven't given you any trade discount on such a minimal order - you should check with their service counter.
Do you have a trade account with TP if not perhaps they gave you the trade discount on the basis of the volume of materials that you were purchasing at that particular time - there is no harm in asking!
