Has anyone else had trouble with Topps lately

[hrgj3270]

i went into topps tiles the other day to open a trade account after being informed a few days earlier what to take in to open it. when i spoke to the manager of the store he informed me that Topps have stopped opening trade accounts because there are enough tilers.

i just think he couldnt be bothered to open a trade account for me.

has anyone else had trouble with them recently ........

topps have changed there trade system and now have three tilers per store to do the tiling - no trade cards on counters anymore

Don't know about everyone on here raving about Topps! They are expensive as trade supplies go, and you can't get stuff on credit!!:whatchutalkingabout

I did have a problem the other day!
One of the counter staff had a go at me gor not using their underfloor heating 'warm up', as he had spent ages selling the product to two customers of mine but then I didn't put the order through!
I had already sold the customers on the idea of underfloor haeting as one is a neighbour and the other is a freind.

He then started spurting on about how they had got me so much work and that I shouldn't betray them!!!!!!!!

Fact is that I haven't had that much work from them at all, but I've sent loads of customers their way, and I always buy my materials from them as they are close.

I think I might start using some other suppliers! As these boys seem to want a monopoly on the whole tiling trade. Getting to big for their boots me thinks.
