The guy simply passed him the box of bulbs, no questions asked- I wonder if these 'staff' are actually paid for doing this job??? Anyway, it's always better to be safe than sorry & you acted accordingly! Hi Kathie—

Our concerns were - how do we know they were really who they said they were? What if they were 'casing the joint'? What's wrong with AGL organising appointments so we know ahead of time who is coming and when? Hi LadyMelbourne, lovely to have you visit.

We've already changed them, so whether to let him in or not wasn't really a question. However, my family and I were discussing how silly it was having these blokes go around door knocking. For one, what if some crazy person after seeing these guys door knocking went around doing the same pretending to be from the same company. And two, how safe is it having a total stranger in your house if you live alone? Quite silly if you ask me, a better option would have been to do mail outs and get the customers to request people to come and change theirs.
