February 7, 20188 yr I've asked for a fair few window quotes and i thought I would get them within a couple of days or so. That's not happening. Is this usual ? how long did you have to wait ?
February 7, 20188 yr It varied but average 10 days I would say. One or two never bothered at all and a couple were really quick. Depends a lot on time of year and if quote dept is busy with spring coming or if they have exhibited at a show recently and picked up a lot from that.
February 7, 20188 yr Was it plans or plans and a window schedule, we found we got a lot quicker replies with the schedule.
February 7, 20188 yr Up to a couple of weeks with variation from about 5 days to a full 2 weeks has been my recent experience. I'm still waiting for a couple now but havey doubts that they will ever arrive.

Its the not wanting to seem too desperate ( and then risk getting higher prices) vs getting the job done
February 7, 20188 yr Fair enough hounding them after a couple of days, but nothing at all unreasonable following up after a couple of weeks. Bear in mind that once you have quotes, you would look to negotiate and compare against other suppliers. Our windows and doors were initially quoted at just under £13K. I paid £8.5K in the end.
