Electricfix

[Rappid]

Anybody have a Electricfix account??
Would I be right in saying that I will only get the Electricfix price if I go to a Electricfix trade counter and not at a screwfix counter.

I've been doing some shopfitting over the last couple of years.
running out of FP200 gold on a friday afternoon, where else are you going to get sort of cable

in a similar way twin and earth cable,
at a similar price to your wholesaler on a Sunday afternoon.
all you have to do is ensure you get a current price list from electrofix

I had to supply them with copies of my quals to get an electricfix account.

A landlord I do work for also has an account though. And he couldn't wire a plug!

maybe he bought the branch manager a pint or two?

No branches here so all done through the interweb and phone calls. He hasn't sent off fake quals or anything, he phoned up and they gave him an account!

The phone call may have went along the lines of "I spent X thousand on electrical stuff each year, can I have an account?"

when I signed up the guy called someone at there head office.
he read the number from my JIB card
maybe you could try the same?

I'm a member of the NIC, she checked my details with the NIC register before accepting me.

Or just go to a Electrofix / Screwfix store opening......
They were giving electrofix accounts to anyone that went in the trade bit.
No quals, jib card or scam membership. TBH most of the people they signed up looked like the only card they'd have would have been a bus pass!!

you need to have a JIB card, be a member of Elesca, Napit or NICEIC to join electrofix / plumbfix

I didn't !!!

All I did was fill out the online application, got a emai a couple of days later saying could i provide more information regarding qualifications. Sent a email giving them relevant info and now have a account there.

Electricfix and B&Q trade point membership is joke.
I've seen taxi drivers and thieving gypo's all getting signed up without a hitch.

B&Q only require a business card and a Invoice to become members difficult things to make at home on your computer.

I signed up for the Electrifix a few months ago, and Im not a member of a scheme or JIB.

I hadnt actually planned on doing it, but while buying some parts in my local Screwfix (Kingston upon Thames), the guy behind the counter asked me if i was a sparky, I told him yes, and he asked me if i wanted to sign up for Electrifix and get a possible saving of up to 20% on all future purchases.

He asked me what qualifications i had, and told him i had City and guilds parts 1 and 2 in electrical installation, he then made a phone call to the appropriate department, and that was it, i was all signed up just like that.
He didnt even ask me for proof of my qualifications, he just gave me the benefit of the doubt, and didnt even ask if i was the member of a scheme !

And yes as others have asked, you still get a discount even if you just go into a normal Screwfix branch, I bought a set of drain rods a couple of weeks ago, and the invoice printed out as an Electrifix one with a discount included !

B&Q trade point is an even bigger joke. Local taxi drivers "welcome to join". !!
