Both Everest and Anglian employ dubious sales techniques. The

We had someone round a couple of years ago to quote for some blinds. He
came up with a price but as soon as I said they were too expensive he
was 'able to offer' a 30% reduction 'if you order today'. I told him to
go. If he wanted to rip me off to the extent of 30% then he wasn't going
to take up any more of my time.

Anglian and Everest had tried the same with me previously and got the
same response.

and the point of the home visit is to assess how much you can afford to pay.

And to measure.

I don't provide measurements for anything. That way, if it doesn't fit,
it's their fault not mine.
