Did you go to Howdens direct or through a trades person? A tradey will get an instant 60% + plus any current promotions.

We went directly, but had to give our builders account to get a price so this kind of discount presumably has been applied.
Our builders aren't even currently aware where the units are coming from - it's wild to me that they'd get any money from the situation, it'd be like an unexpected £1000's bonus coming in from the job.
Does the discount mean that Howdens will charge my builders 40% of 22k = c8.5K?

I'm doing my kitchen and I've just got the Howdens quote back - it's 22K for a kitchen priced up at about 9K on DIY Kitchens. I expected it to be higher, but I'm actually a bit shocked at the discrepancy.
It's so much higher and unreasonable that I suspect that any potential relationship with them might have been ruined but I'd still rather go with them if possible (not at that price obviously) as they're a mile up the road and easier to fix any issues come installation. Has anyone managed to use their (Howden's) price match against DIY Kitchens or (alternatively) somewhere like IKEA.
