TL;Dr if spending a lot of money, give the seller a call, be nice and see what they can do for you.
Will wait till Monday and give them a quick ring, it won't affect my delivery date anyway
I've done this soo many times too Rusty
My best involves a little bit of history:
When I was young and stupid, I was later for work in poor-ish weather, put the boot down on a private road and long story short, 18 months later I was handed a dangerous driving conviction.
12 months after that, my insurance showed the really damage. I went from £400 fully comp to £2k-£3k fully comp.
A female in my work put me onto another insurer her brother had used after a reckless conviction, so I got a quote from them, £1300.
Ok not too bad, given what I was looking at. Still, that at the time was near 2 months wages for me. I gave it a couple of days then PHONED the insurers and said "I've got an email, saying I may be able to get a discount on my quote"
The guy spent nearly 20 minutes going between the underwriter and me, asking little various questions.
Then said to me, ok, ive been able to get it reduced, but only to £750.
I snapped it out of his hands! £550 saving for a 20 minutes phone call!
Ever since I've done this. The computer I built two years ago, I could get for about £200 cheaper buying parts for different suppliers, but postage then killed the saving.
So I called the only vendor that had ALL my components, asked for a discount for getting it all from them.
Got my £200 saving, a free game that was £40 on steam and free DPD 1 hour next day delivery.
