I’m crap at haggling in retail for actual discounts but I usually get them to throw in something free as an extra. Maybe ask for a couple of free cushions or something? That’s just a little cheeky rather than a full on haggle.
I've just got 20% off a new heating system by buying all the parts from a wholesaler at the same rate my plumber would get rather than buying from the manufacturer. Just got my plumber to explain that I'd be buying the bits for him to fit so could I have the same discount they normally give him.

In my experience of JL for large items its the delivery when things go wrong.
free delivery on things is a problem, easier to get satisfaction when you’re paying for it (fnaar).

It's a Western department store, not a bazaar in Bongo Bongo Land. What the hell...?

I’ve had money off before.
The most recent example is that I bought an ex display desk that had a couple of knocks of the sort it would pick up in 30 seconds active use at home.
I got the already reduced price reduced even more.
Just find the right person and be polite.

What sort of person lacks the self confidence to ask? All they can do is say no.
Any idiot can pay too much for something.

Should I just buy the sofa directly from a wholesaler? Given that john Lewis does not actually make John Lewis sofas.
