We need to funish our appartment for letting purposes and have been contacted by the above company offering to do this on our behalf. We've checked their web-site which looks fine, but I can't find anything else on the web about them...which in this day and age is slightly unusual. We've also got concerns that they won't take payment by card, want payment to a spanish bank a/c and contact is made via e-mail unless they call us etc.
Compared to the package being offered to us by our agent...who shall we say is one of the biggest names in the business and on our TV's....the package from Furniture Direct works out about EUR4000 cheaper.....but we are just worried about how genuine they are etc?
Has anyone had any dealings with them in the past or with my agent *** who are are charging through the nose.
Any advice regarding this or furniture packs would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Greggs
this is my first time replying on this site - so keeping my fingers crossed that this has got through. It sounds like we are buying through the same agent and I agree that their initial costings were just too high. I too was contacted by Furniture Direct and compared their prices to me doing it myself. By the time I lost my income from my own business, did the flights and accommodation etc, then it was worth my while going with their fees and so I have agreed to use them - but I have to admit to being a little nervous.
I did pay by credit card and they seem set up for installation mid may for me. As you say, contact with them is not ideal. I do email but get no response and will need to call next week. When I have called before they have answered my queries and sent through extra information that I have asked for. Equally, they advised they would pass my details onto a rental firm in Romania who they work with and sure to word - they have contacted me
I hope you are now sorted but I am chasing this company and will probably feel nervous until the day the furniture is installed and thereafter, until a tenant is found. I am a first time purchaser overseas and the whole experience has been daunting.
Hope this helps
