Expensive and Dismissive

Rentokil PE quoted R3000 to fix a rat problem. We are helping a recently widowed friend who has 3 disabled children. In getting 3 check quotes the prices were all under R1000. One has provided a quick and effective service. On asking Rentokil why they quoted so much they said it is because they are a reputable company with branches all over the shop. So you must pay more for reliable service. There was no offer to amend their quote. Really?!! Just to put salt into the wound the company has a system where they withdraw the quote after a period of time. Just so you feel really welcome! We are NOT IMPRESSED and will not recommend Rentokil.

Dear Mr Dell 

Thank you for letting us know that you were not happy with the quote you received, or the service of our quoting agent. We have given feedback to the colleague's manager regarding their tone, and the lack of adequate explanation in terms of what our quote actually entails (for example, the metal bait stations which which are pet-proof and child-proof, but unfortunately more expensive than their plastic counterparts).  
Our PE branch manager has also given you a call to apologise. 
I hope you will reconsider using our services in the future. 

Kind regards
