[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are they saying for three hours? How much can there possibly be to say about this topic??[/quote]

They come to your house, introduce themselves, do some rudimentary talk for about 30 minutes where it's a bunch of pleasantries about windows.  Then they bring out the props.  Pamphlets, brochures, small simple windows with lights that they shine through.  Then they sine the light through your window to show you how much better their inert gas is than your current vacuum glass.  When you finally get sick of the dog and pony show, they move onto the price.  They write a number down, tell you this is what it costs.  Then try to convince you to buy more for deals.  When you spit milk out of your nose in reaction to the price, they slash through that number and write a new number TODAY ONLY!!!!!  They continue doing this with various limited discounts over and over again.  There is acting involved where they pretend you're taking food off their kid's table and the sort.  If you've ever experienced high pressure sales as car lots, timeshares, etc, take all your experiences, put them together and multiply it by 10 and you have the experience we had.  [/quote]

I would enjoy reading more posts by the PP if she is still around.  This post and her earlier one abut buying an urn made my day.[/quote]

[quote=Shahryar]So far I had an APEX guy and a Thompson Creek guy come to my house. The Thompson creek guy's sales tactics were horrible, I couldn't get him to leave. The Apex one was ok in that it was nothing overly pushy. In the case of both, it was just annoying how time consuming the whole thing is.

The Thompson Creek guy did a nice demo showing how heat wasn't getting through the glass so I think his windows may be better than the Apex guy. But I saw somewhere online the whole Thompson Creek pocket window system could be problematic.

I'll check out some of the vendors recommended in this post (Windows on Washington, NOVA Installation, etc).[/quote]

Seriously, I still have nightmares about that guy sleeping in my guest room!  The Thompson Creek Windows guys are like vampires, they have to be invited in but once they get inside your home you realize what a horrible mistake you made.  Please leave Mr Creek!  They won’t leave until they’ve bled you dry.  OH MY GOD GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!!!  We aren’t using you!  No seriously, leave.  Go.  Then comes weeks of phone calls with “factory deals”.  I especially loved when the supervisor called and said he was going to make an offer I couldn’t no to....IF IT INVOLVES YOU COMING BACK TO MY HOUSE THEN NO!  Never again Thompson Creek.  NEVER AGAIN!  I’ve got the urn just in case but I’d rather not be in it yet![/quote]
