The cost of replacement parts and labour to repair a refrigerator was 90% of purchasing a new similar model. Once I realized this and tried to cancel the following work day just after the service visit, they tried to haggle me into accepting a 20% discount for which I was still not interested. As per the law I'm entitled to cancel the repair within 10 days but I was unable to get refunded for most of the upfront cost. No labour had been yet put into the repair, the serviceman had only made an estimate so the labour was yet to happen in the future but I was forced to pay that upfront. Given that according to their policy, labour can't be refunded I lost all money related to labour costs. Then there was restocking fees for parts. In the end I lost half of the total cost of the estimated repair. Wether it's industry standard or not I don't know but it's definitely immoral to charge for work that hasn't been done. Avoid paying anything upfront, you can't get your money back.
