im getting some quotes on some hvac shit. i had this company do another unit a couple years ago because of COSTCO benefits. theyre the only COSTCO hvac contractor in my area.

the first time i had to look up all the models for everything myself to see if they qualified for the energy efficient tax credit. same thing is happening this time because the dude keeps saying only the top units qualify, but that's not true. he also keeps adding the tax credit into the quote. asked for a quote for a standard unit 3x and he keeps fucking it up. then he said “why would you want that, its more expensive?” and i asked why theyd make a low efficiency unit that cost more, and he clarified he meant after the tax credit. i showed him on the irs website it qualified and he just ignored that.

every one of these salesman are dogshit. idk how you can spend your entire life selling this shit and still not know what youre talking about. ran this past a couple hvac tech friends who confirmed im correct about several things he's wrong about. i hate being a know-it-all client to a putative expert but these guys are just SO FUCKING DUMB and cannot follow SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.

idk why they just dont have the actual techs do sales. maybe their time is more lucrative just doing the job and they pay their sales guys shit. im about to just forgo my COSTCO benefits and go with a small local breh just so I don't have to deal with this shit.

the reason why these people are forced to use these sales tactics is to compensate for psychopathic, dishonest, scamming foreign invaders like you and CSLG who abuse the system in bad faith

cannot wait until you try to scam the wrong guy and he just kills you and your wife on the spot

Every salesman basically tries to oversell you on shit you don't need. You have to be an advocate for yourself. Barely any salesmen give two shits about doing right by their customer or repeat business.

It’s a nightmare. They’re all trying to take advantage of you and the ones who aren’t are fools because they can get away with it. This is not the 1950s where you’re all going to church together, your kids are in school together, you all root for the Indians, etc. This is living in a low-trust society, which has changed in our lifetimes.

It’s the old trope of a woman going to a mechanic and paying $200 for premium air in her tires, etc. except it’s every single major purchase you make and we’re all women.

Israeli? Once upon a time I had a ductless AC system installed by some Israel Middle Eastern Jew (they're basically Arab Jews). He was easily the least Jewy Jew I ever met.

Techs don't do sales because they're often English limited. The whole point of a sales bro is to understand the product. It sounds like this is just a shitty company which is probably why they are partnered with Costco. They make lower profits but do more volume. I used to get my eye exam at Costco because some prole friend told me it was cheaper and just as good. But they did a rush job and I had to go to another place that cost more but my prescription was spot on. You just need to go somewhere better than Costco and yes they'll charge you more but you get what you pay for.

If you want good work you gotta catch a bro in the early phases of his meth habit. Many of these guys dropped out of school because their parents were too out of it to obtain Adderall for them, and they have a good few years as they discover how much work they can get done on stims.

Is the credit a flat amount? The same no matter the unit? If it varies or it's a percentage or applies to the unit but not the labor it's helpful to include it. Most people cannot do simple math.

there's multiple different credits and rebates. i get that people can't do simple math and some might even prefer to have the net price laid out of them. but i've asked him not to, mostly because he's wrong about some of the rebates that happen after the sale. i just want to see what his company is going to charge and figure out the other stuff for myself.

it's the same with car sales. the salesmen are trained to talk about the monthly price because they're trained to and used to retards who can only think of purchase in those terms. most of their customers probably prefer this too. and they look at you like you have two heads if you have a cash price, or if you choose shorter term financing with a lower APR.

"but... the monthly payments are higher!"

A huge percentage of people prefer it the way he does it. In his mind if he gives you the base price without rebates some competitor will give you a lower price that includes rebates and he’ll lose the sale. Which is correct 98% of the time. It’s the most efficient strategy for him, who cares what you asked for?

I did this a year ago. I just went to my usual HVAC company which has perfect ratings and has been a pleasure to work with. They gave me a reasonable quote, compared one other well reviewed place as a reality check and then accepted the original offer.

Could I have saved some small amount doing some Costco BS? Perhaps, but then I'd be in a frustrating shitshow of poor service like OP. People that aren't willing to pay for good service will always be the ones complaining about poor service.

I was kicking around getting a lease on a new EV before the tax credits ran out. Emailed 4 dealerships - I got probably 25 emails but only 1 gave me a fucking quote on the cars listed on their website. The other emails all insisted i come down to the office.

You can see where Tesla is super popular for just ordering the exact car you want on standard pricing in 10 minutes.

I think the idea of Costco is that they can't rip you off or they'll lose their Costco referalls - which i'm assuming is extremely lucrative.

Saves you the time of having to vet the other vendors, many of whom will just fuck you over some way at some point.

This is essentially what I was trying to say. The Costco referral program is a quick fix chop shop. Anyone independent has to work harder for your dollar. Of course you have the crooks but you also have the top tier service. The top of the field isn't depending on Costco for business. They're charging more and doing better work. People go to Costco because it's cheaper and has brand cachet. But what you get for less money is a lower quality service. For something small, maybe. For a custom job done right hit the white pages.

i said i compared quotes with other companies and also ran quotes by hvac friends. costco came out best last time. this type of black and white thinking is so stupid. few things are always one way. if costco was always the worst option they wouldn't be very successful.

part of the deal is costco giving me cash. the company's quotes are in line with other quotes ive received for the exact same equipment. those companies said they couldn't compete with that.

right so you're familiar with this.

the only reason i mentioned COSTCO was to stave off the "just go somewhere else lol" comments. it's like buying a new car at a dealership with a bunch of shitty salesman. they're the only game in town, and while the car might be 180, you have to get past the gauntlet of retarded salesman.

after several quotes the local brehs cannot match COSTCO incentives. and i know this company does a good job on installation and service because i've used them for other stuff. i just have to get past the gauntlet of retarded salesd00ds.
