Would you do this?

Sorry to hear that mate. I think your rate sounded fair. I've had problems in the past trying to give a fair price yet still earn a living. Times are hard.

If its any consolation, at 425 for 3men for the day, you'd be under-cutting me considerably, then I'd be starting a thread too (if I could be bothered) Seems desperate times are taking their toll.

 

yehr same here even in sleepy norfolk £425 for three men for the day is too cheap id say more like £550 600

Surely undercutting is when they know your price then Undercut it.

 

Otherwise he,s just pricing the job cheaper than you were.

 

So the way I see he hasn't done anything wrong tbh.

 

Well apart from doing a very cheap job.

 

I'd be cheaper than all of you and I know others who would be cheaper than me.

But the other guy saw him go there to price, so went and knocked the door

You get what you pay for

 

After we loose jobs you will often drive past the site and see untidy piles of timber, poor pruning cuts, rough clear up job, etc...

 

If you want quality, you have to get your wallet out.

[RobArb]

why don't you get someone to go watch and video the job, see how he does it... you never know we all may have a laugh about it:lol:

Ah right yeah missed that bit somehow.

 

 

 

Yep that is out of order poaching work.

 

I still stand by my comment on undercutting though.

Maybe I will, now that could be interesting?
