Heres one for ya...

[Hodge]

I took a load of logs out top a guy yesterday, 25 mile round trip so i had priced accordingly:001_smile: got to his house and i was asked to back down drive and put it in front of his garage/car. I tipped off and pulled out of the drive and parked up. I went back to get paid which is when the fun starts... "how much do i owe you?" "£100 please"......"ok, if you help me put it away i will follow you to the cash machine"......."sorry putting wood away is another £15". "oh, how am i going to put it all away?"........" I will take a check thanks, see ya".

i couldnt believe the craftyness of it>>

if quoted a price via previous conversation it always boils my goat,when they start welshing on the price.

cheap stacking price that hodge.If customer is old,frail or disabled then i would never moan about helping them.Usually you find its the young uns which are the laziest

Im finding that more often than not, doing logs is a pain in the backside. I have had the exact same experience and plenty of others to boot! Sometimes wonder why i bother!!

my thoughts exactly,woods hardly easy to source.The customers over the years are really starting to get extremely un appreciative,but hey if they want to pay D.I.Y store prices go let them Ive give up loosing sleep over it

If you spend 1/2 an hour stacking a £100 load, surely that will eat away at profits... Or do you price every job with stacking included and its a bonus if you don't have to....?

[WoodED]
