Great advert for IW's 'luxury furniture', show a chair with a burst seam.
They’d probably say it’s an unstitched sample
Ballerina, I like your cold caller story with a pushy salesman. Not related to IW but I have had a similar experience. Twice I have had people trying to sell/upsell to me - when I politely said I wasn't interested on both occasions they said firmly "would you please let me finish"! Once was in Superdrug when they were desperately trying to sell their phone network. I told her not to continue I was happy with my network and I just want to pay (I know they are under pressure to sell but she was rude). The other incident was a cold call supposedly from Carphone Warehouse and I asked how they got my number as it shouldn't be in the public domain and I would have to contact MI5 (yes I actually said that!). He hung up immediately...I used to be a customer of IW until about 2004 (roughly). I used to get bombarded with daily emails, I used toi delete them without opening them to be honest. One day, I got a phonecall out of the blue from IW (or so rhey said) offering me some sort of discount card. It was a salesman on rails and he kept talking over me each time I said I am not interested, which was really annoying. In the end, I said "no thank you, goodbye". Noit rude but he was still talking when I put t he receiver down! Anyway, a few days later, this pak of crappy coupons arrived from a company called supercard (if I remember the name right?) as an IW affiliate. I binned the rubbish and thought no more of it. Then, whils telephone banking a week or so later, the assistant asked about my recent transactions. So I rattled off what I could remember and they mentioned a debit of £2.99 on my card and that the day I was calling, there was a pending request for £99.99 from the same company, supercard! I said no, no, no! The bank declined the payment or and they also reversed the £2.99. I told them about the tele marketing call and they were very helpful and said I am not alone. I complained to IW, who said it had not come from them and to call Supercard. The point is that they had given my financial details to a 3rd party. That's when I closed the account, total shisters. Anyone else had the pleasure of this con?
That’s Crap I have a feeling it’s a IW BrandPeter was on flogging Cushion Walk today - 'They've been going for a hundred and fifty years !' he blurts out.
He's round the bend.
