Browse Forums Building A New House Re: H**l*y customer service just gets worse and worse..... 19Jul 23, 2007 8:44 pm After being promised by the CSR team lead on Friday, I had decided to proceed with the tender appointment.
When I arrived, the person who was conducting the tender made it the point to highlight that I MUST sign the tender document on the spot else, I lose the keeping the initial price of the house I had placed a deposit on (the price of the house has since increased). The funny thing about this was that in the past 2 weeks not withstanding confirmation from the sales rep, the CSR and the CSR team lead; ALL who highlighted that I will not be FORCED to sign on the day of my tender. The letter from the company highlighting my tender appointment also clear states that I am given 7 days to schedule another tender appointment. Guess what? The person who handled the tender appointment said his department/section OVERRULES all what the others were saying. This coming from people in the SAME COMPANY mind you. I tried to bring up the point of what the rest (ie. sales rep, CSR, CSR team lead) was saying but this person wouldn't even let me finish and threatened to walk out of the appointment. I even tried bringing this up with his manager but he said he is in a meeting. Anyone else higher than his manager would be the directors and he said the directors would not be interested in meeting with me. The funny thing about this is that I personally would not want to waste anytime with the tender stage and get to building. And all I was asking was for 2 days grace to work out decisions because all my unanswered questions were left to the tender appointment and there was no way all that could be cramped within 3 hours. After the person who handled my tender appointment returned (I was left in the office for about 10-15 mins with no clue as to what was happening), he returned to finally say that 2 days is fine because I had initial expressed my concerns to the CSR team lead that my partner could not make it to the appointment (of which was a bunch of ******). My partner and I were present and we are greatly appalled. I still can't comprehend why a company like this would want to resort to this and then have to take back promises made.

It's all a ploy to seize the upper hand. Until you sign, you have the upper hand. They want (actually need your business and others like you, otherwise they are out of business). I wouldn't sign until everything was to my satisfaction - price, incusions, colours, everything. If they are not interested then there are plenty of others lining up for my business. Once you sign, they have the upper hand. Every change - and they know they will be needed - is charged at inflated prices. Once you sign they've got you over a barrel. A friend of mine was charged about 5 times the going rate for a water thank since it was needed down the track to satisfy Basix. Then they hit rock and the charge was extortion. My suggestion. Organise everything and only then sign anything. You're in charge until you sign. Really. Cheers, Casa the conduit would need to be undamaged regardless of what network is in play.
