what is it with customers? i got a call at 10.30 this morning asking if i could fit only some carpet and wood for them tomorrow or saturday i said i can do saturday but not tomorrow.so she says great can you come round and give me a price so i said can be round at 4.00.so i get there at 3.45 flat is empty as there letting it out by 4.20 im still waiting so try calling straight through to voicemail in that 10 minutes i tried calling her several times with no success so at 4.35 i leave.i wouldnt mind to much but it was a 25 mile round trip and nearly 2 hours of my time complete wasters.ist like i had an email earlier in the week asking if i can provide a quote emailed straight back saying fine can do blah blah day no response unbelivable some customers but if your 5 min late there straight on the phone
I always tend to find that the "customer" that wants you there, or wants it done straight away, are the ones that **** you about.
yeah should of seen it coming really just pi$$d off about time and fuel.i see it they should say they need it done on there day tho not carry on the call for me to book a time for a quote to fck me about
i could do it !!! saturday. as im doing a nursery at the moment and ive got to be off site soon so would of been a bit of extra money hey ho
i have to admit i hate domestic and dealing with the crap you have to put up with i prefer commercial.yes you get crap on commercial waiting for builders,clearing everything out of the way etc etc but ive always done commercial from the moment i started this game but had to do domestics to bring the money in when i went on my own and still put up with it.my works about 50/50 tho with both sides
on another point done a job for a new builder just before xmas a wetroom.i said ply floor, floor down put cladding on.i get a text from builder saying architech has specd extra tanking as belts and braces ok put tanking under ply as vinyl is tanking in itself i say to builder man.i turn up the plums put the tanking on the nice ply floor and up the walls what can you do?the floor looks lumpy and bumpy and terrible all i said to him before fitting is theres not much you can do now is there!! his replie. no
I prefer domestic too but that's mainly because I get paid on completion and don't have to wait weeks or even months
im pretty lucky on commercial most of the jobs are my own so get paid on completion when i sub i get paid within 14 - 30 days and never had a problem being paid up.ive had more trouble with domestic clients not paying to be honest
