Electrifix

[rmaynard]

looks like they are turning people away who arnt scheme or part p registered, i had a leaflet through the door and tried to apply for a trade account only to be told i wasnt qualified enough, is this a turning point for wholesalers?

That's crazy on their part, what about all the sparks that steer clear of house bashing? Aren't they welcome anymore?

thats just it, it doesnt stop people buying stuff they shouldnt but its a step in this direction

Strange how a happy shopper establishment takes a better stance than the big wholesalers who sell anything to anyone.

Electrifix is purely a tradesmans discount on electrical items, it isnt even a lot, however every little helps i suppose

I had mine around a year now and used it once, i seem to remember all you need is to prove that your competant with the relevant qualifications

All I did was go in & tell them that I HAD been CORGI registered AND was also a qualified spark but was now retired (all true) & they registered me for Plumbfix, but I also get the Electrifix deals too.

Odd, I got mine about a week ago. All I did was say (over the phone) that I have 2382. That was good enough for them.

I applied online and got approved with no checks, I have electricfix and plumbfix but was told I had to have a plumbing qualification when I applied over the phone for plumbfix.

I use Electrifix so I don't have to queue as long!

 

[SPARTYKUS]

I just did a little burp on the phone & I was in!

(just kidding I was asked for proof of paying some robbers to come and see that in fact I was competent, had calibrated meter, had correct procedures for everything, and was actually really rather good at my job despite their visit, OH! Then I paid 400 of your finest british pounds to them.



Eh?

 

[rmaynard]
