Craftmatic Adjustable Price…
“Rebate promotion may increase price of bed.”
That’s contained within the fine print at the bottom of the screen during the commercial for a Craftmatic adjustable bed. The way the deal is presented is that you, the consumer, calls a toll-free number to get some information pack about the bed. In the packet is a $200 rebate coupon.
That piece of fine print sucks. Using common sense, that means that they raise the price of the bed in order for you to get that “terrific” $200 rebate.
That’s not really a rebate, is it?
UPDATE: Is it a coincidence that the day after I post my comment the state of Ohio filed a suit against the maker and distributor of Craftmatic adjustable beds? The suit alleges that Craftmatic’s sales representatives told customers they were getting a discount or special price when the company has no fixed price for the beds. Ha!
I entered a raffle and ended up with a vist from a salesman, I test drove the scooter and was impressed with it. there was
a reluctant to tell me the price. In the end the first price quoted was nearly £6000. finally it came down to £10. down &£17.
per week or £2700. for cash.
It would appear that craftmatic play the same game anywhere, must give the salesman a nice feeling parting sick people
from what little money they have left.
You might like to know that this company’s activities have attracted the unfavourable attention of TV consumer programmes and consumer protection authorities in the UK for much the same kind of dubious practices spoken about here. If they are cornered they will claim that they have fired the salesman involved because he was acting “dishonestly” and/or against company procedures. Two weeks ago I caught them lying and threw the salesman out of the house.
I am a craftmatic salesperson, I think that you are misjudging alot of us on what a few do. THERE ARE HONEST salespeople for Craftmatic…. I have walked out of homes before I would sell something to someone when I knew they couldn’t afford it. How many car sales reps, furniture or appliance reps would do that…… We are not all liars…
So why not sign your name?
