BEWARE - SAFETY A RIP OFF

I WAS RECENTLY APPALLED WHEN I WAS TOLD HOW MUCH THEY DECIDED TO CHARGE MY DAD TO CHANGE THE SECURITY SENSORS IN HIS HOUSE.

THE "SALES" PERSON QUOTED MY DAD APPROX R6500.00 JUST TO REPLACE AND ADD A TOTAL OF 6 SENSORS IN OUR HOUSE.

I ASKED THE SALES PERSON WHY THEY WERE SO EXPENSIVE AND HE SAID THAT THEY PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS FROM OVERSEAS AND IT DEPENDS ON HOW WELL / BAD THE RAND IS DOING (LOL).

I THEN ADVISED HIM THAT I RECENTLY UPGRADED MY ALARM SYSTEM (FEB 2013) AT MY HOME AND HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE FOR THE SAME PRICE AS HE QUOTED US FOR THE SENSORS:

A) REPLACED ALL THE SENSORS WITH THE SAME TYPE AND NO OF UNITS AS QUOTED ABOVE
B) REPLACED CURRENT MONITORING AND BATTERY UNIT
C) INSTALLED A NEW BEAM
D) REPLACED 2 DOOR CONTACTS
E) BOUGHT 2 BRAND NEW REMOTES

NOW TO ME THIS IS A RIP OFF, HOW COULD I BE PAYING - THE SAME PRICE FOR MORE AND MY DAD WILL BE PAYING THE SAME PRICE JUST TO INSTALL 6 SENSORS.

AFTER SOME DEBATE WE WHERE COURTEOUSLY GIVE A 15% DISCOUNT AND AFTER I THREATENED TO CHANGE COMPANIES WE WHERE GIVEN A 25% DISCOUNT.

AMAZING... THIS IS WHAT SHOCKS ME... BEING RIPPED OF TO BE SAFE.
