In recent years, there has been a package decoration model calculated in square meters in the home improvement market, which can save consumers unnecessary expenses as much as possible. However, this type of package decoration has begun to be challenged by consumers. In succession, some citizens report to the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce and the Municipal Consumers’ Association that individual decoration companies first reported lower package fees, and then supplemented with a free design commitment. The final decoration budget was far higher than the pre-selected package. Something inexplicably "is the price increase."

One, low-cost bait to increase the cost

According to industry insiders, the biggest benefit of "package decoration" compared to the traditional decoration model is that it can "make it simple and simple." However, this kind of decoration mode that should have brought benefits to consumers may sometimes be exploited by businesses.

 

During the “11” period last year, Ms. Li looked for decoration companies to renovate her new home. 120 square meters of new homes, Ms. Li chose a package of 240 yuan per square meter, all the money is 28,800 yuan. The two parties signed a contract on the spot. Ms. Li paid a deposit of 4,500 yuan and the decoration company was ready to begin construction.

Before the construction, the decoration company sent people to the house for Ms. Lee's new house for a second calculation, found that some places did not take into account, the budget of 28,800 yuan is not enough. As a result, the person in charge of the company proposed to raise the budget to 40,000 yuan based on actual measurement results. Therefore, Ms. Li should also pay 11,200 yuan. Ms. Li couldn’t hear it. “If it was proposed at the outset, it will be based on the actual measurement results. The problem is that it has been said to be a 'package decoration' and the contract has been signed. This is clearly a lie!”

Coincidentally. The number of consumers who took the “package decoration” deficit was more than Ms. Lee. Ms. Qin’s selection of a new home is also a package of RMB 240. After the contract is signed, the decoration company constantly proposes amendments and the cost rises again. What makes her unbearably tolerable is that the decoration company is obviously shoddy. “For example, if the price of the master bedroom bulb is at least 20 yuan, I’ve seen only 5 bulbs at the 3 stations. The floor of the baby room is also different from what I have said. It's particularly large. I doubt it. Whether there is formaldehyde or not." Later, after mediation by the Consumers Association, the decoration company returned overpayments to Ms. Qin according to the contract.
