Howdens won't sell to the public. Or at least they never used to.
They only want to send an 'authorised' kitchen fitter round.


One of their fitters has the same name as me and the same broadband
supplier.

He also wanted the email address that already had, so was obviously
offered it with a 2 appended, which he accepted.

Howdens 'lost' the 2 and started sending me his quotations - shiowing
his 80% + discount!

If we use Howdens for our new kitchen, that information could be
useful to know!

I had no problem getting a Howdens Trade account - even with a
substantial credit allowance.
All the kitchen items seem to be sold at a discount of anything between
50 and 100% ( yes 100% for 1 item).
Had no problem taking surplus items - mainly accessories back unused for
full refund.

We were ready to go down that route but the builders we selected had a
Howdens account so we use theirs.
They showed us the quote from Howdens with "trade" and "retail" values
side by side. Retail was mainly 2 * Trade.
They just billed us the Trade amount.
