Every spring and summer is a good time for home improvement, and the purchase and installation of curtains is one of the indispensable links in the home improvement process. Curtains not only protect the privacy of the space, but also protect the sun, and it is an important decoration to set off the home and improve the quality of life.

However, some merchants have also seen some temptations that they can't stop, and set up “consumption barriers” everywhere in marketing, which has led to an increase in complaints and consultations. Recently, the Consumers Association of Jinan City, Shandong Province has received 8 complaints about curtains.

Experts reminded that there are a lot of knowledge about the purchase of curtains. Consumers should pay more attention to the purchase process. They must calculate the cost of each item with the merchant to avoid being fooled.

High price of accessories

"My family is a two-bedroom house. I have done 3 sets of curtains. I didn't expect to spend nearly 3,000 yuan. I thought that buying a curtain is a few hundred dollars." Ms. Lu, who lives in Tianqiao District of Jinan, called Jinan. City Consumers Association reflects.

According to the staff of Jinan City Consumers Association, because consumers buy curtains, most of them only ask about the main material, that is, the price of fabrics, and ignore the price of accessories such as track and lace, so the merchants grasp the psychology of consumers. The price of the main material is reported to be very low. When the curtains are sent to the consumer's home for installation, the consumer will find that the price of the curtains reported by the merchant is far from the total price of the finished curtains. But the curtains are already done, and it is too late to return them. They can only eat a dumb loss.

It is understood that the price of curtain fabrics is generally calculated in meters. The reporter found in a store specializing in curtains in Beijing Jiuxianqiao Building Materials City, 40 to 50 yuan per meter of fabric, made into the finished curtains of the room, each set of curtains often exceeds 1000 RMB. The salesperson explained that making a set of curtains not only requires the use of fabrics, but also the need to slide rails, laces, slings, etc. If the price of the accessories is counted, this price is!

According to reports, in addition to the curtain fabric, the merchant will calculate various kinds of complicated curtain accessories, such as lace 8 to 12 yuan per meter, cloth belt 10 to 15 yuan per meter, sliding rail depending on the quality difference, the price from 25 yuan per meter It costs 90 yuan per meter. There is also a metal ring between the fixed curtain and the sliding guide rail, each of which costs 3 to 5 yuan, and a set of curtains uses more than 30, so the accessories are actually three times the price of the main material. It is no wonder that the final set of curtains is very different from the original budget.

Installation fee

“The agreement on the purchase of curtains did not indicate whether the installation was charged or not. I didn’t expect that when the curtains were delivered to the home for installation, the installation workers would have to install 30 to 50 yuan per curtain.” Mr. Wang, who lives in the Huaiyin District of Jinan, has no choice but to pay. The land is reflected to the staff of Jinan City Consumers Association.

The staff introduced that when the curtains were sold, there was no charge for installation. In the later installation, they insisted on charging for installation and brackets, screws, etc. This is also the usual trick of the merchant.

The Consumers Association staff reminded consumers that they must keep their eyes on the curtains. If you only pay attention to the cost of curtains, and ignore the cost of post-installation and various accessories, when the merchants make and install the curtains, they find that the cost of delivery is too late. The insiders suggest that when consumers buy curtains, they must calculate the cost of each item with the merchant, so as not to be "fudged" by the merchant.

Buckle the remaining fabric

According to experts, the high profit of curtains does not allow the merchants to give up. After making the curtains, it is also the practice of some merchants to deduct the remaining fabrics. "Don't underestimate the value of these surplus fabrics. It's a profit for the merchants."

According to reports, consumers can not just use up the fabric when buying curtains. The height of the curtain fabric is generally 2.8 meters, and the curtains that are made are generally not grounded, and the height is about 2 meters, so each curtain will have a balance. The 80 cm wide cloth tail, for the rest of the fabric, most consumers did not ask the business. Some merchants deduct these balance fabrics and sell them at a low price. Some merchants will use the balance fabric for the next customer who chooses the same kind of fabric, and make small items such as curtain fabrics to save costs.

Experts suggest that consumers should pay attention to the remaining fabric after purchasing curtains. If there are more left, you can negotiate with the merchant to make some discounts in the curtain price. You can also take the fabric back and make it into a sofa cushion, tablecloth and other decorations, and decorate the newly renovated home.
