Beyond legal action, major appliance retailers have launched a fear campaign in recent months. In the province’s mainstream media—especially in Quebecor outlets, which is a business partner of Tanguay—readers were met with alarmist headlines predicting 30% price hikes for appliances.
It’s a lie. If they believed they can sell for 30% more they would have already done so. Remember, prices are set by the seller to whatever the market would bear. Costs are kept as low as possible.
I think they are seeding the idea now so later they can jack the price and use this as an excuse so it will be more easily accepted. Any excuse will do for this lot.
That was my reaction as well.
“The things we sell have to function?! What!? 😭”
The CEO of the group that owns Corbeil even claimed that the cost of one of its products could rise by 43% because these products will need to be repaired more than once in the years following their purchase.
Maybe, I dont know, dont sell shitty products.
Secondly, fuck that guy.
