What would you do

[NoRush]

I did pay him the next day as promised CASH. I just didnt like the attitude and there was no point going to a cash point as i would have had all the money the next day. Why do people have to be a-holes like this. It just been bugging me for a while (i dont no why) Anyway lesson learnt

As someone has already said, "Pay him and move on." Ok, so it might no be a pleasant experience dealing with him but don't stoop to his level. It's easy to make an enemy, harder to then get them off your back.

 

Plus if you tell him where to go now; who knows what he might say down the line to potential customers of yours. You both move in the same circles, if not at the same grade. Keep quiet now and live with it. There are always going to be people in life, that are just grumpy as hell, to whom anything that makes them use connected brain cells, is beyond their reasoning.

98% of people are honest and above board. Sounds like that guy has a problem.

 

That may be true, but many are rubbish with money. The OP essentially wants the seller to extend credit to him without asking.

 

To be properly honest, you have to say that you can't pay before you load up and make sure the seller is happy with that. That avoids placing him in a difficult position - why should he have to stress about how honest you are, whether you are going to pay, where you live etc etc. As the buyer, its your responsibility. His reaction may be a bit OTT, but how would you react if he made you unload it all again?

 

I don't even think its fair to say you shouldn't do future business - just respect his terms, or agree terms in advance (I would bet he's been stung a few times?).

 

Of course - if the OP was the only person who wanted the wood, then the seller may have to take the risk....

Always carry a wad of cash and pay on the day when dealing with someone for the first time.

 

Saying that though, many years ago I gave a freelancer a cheque at the end of his first day mainly because he didn't have his receipt book with him and the cheeky git asked me if it would bounce.......I was so annoyed by his comment that I never used him again.
