Friends...who needs 'em!!!

[Monikieman]

Just get another customer to fill his place.

 

More money/ less effort/ less hassle.

 

Sounds like a win win situation!

When he rings up ... say ive only got the ringing wet shite that everyone else is happy with... ill supply someone that appreciate s my time and effort. Come and help in the yard for a day if you want discount on top .

Exactly. " the axe is over there, the very heavy rings are there, your pathetic car won't be able to drive in the yard so you will have to barrow through to the boot. It's all yours , mate"

True good friends are a very rare thing

Users are far more common

You are a mate whilst you are doing him a favour, sell the stuff to someone who appreciates your efforts, let him go moan to someone else, with friends like that who needs enemies.

I agree with all these comments and thank you for the support. I'll certainly not be chasing him re a delivery. The more I thought about it today, he has been a right royal pain dans le derriere - complained of a short load once, went to collect the money once only for him to say I'v just spent it on parts for the Land Rover I'm working on and similar on another occasion it took 4 visits to get the cash off him!!

 

He can go cold or go elsewhere!

If he ever calls you again for wood tell him he's been replaced, O and you might want to tell him to go pound sand for good measure!

I would not have put up with his antics I am afraid. In all the years we have sold logs I have only had one complaint.

I loaded a trailer load one night ready for my wife to deliver to a new customer the next day so I knew what was put on and how good the load was !

On the way home I phoned home to say what time I would be back for tea and could tell there was something wrong.

My wife says man was not there when she delivered and he said he would be but daughter said tip them on the yard He then ring up several hours latter to say does not think He has had value for money and they burn to fast !!! He is not happy.

I ring him and get the same story so I say I will come straight over and sort it out.

I get home pick up the trailer and the wife off we go, no logs on the yard when we get there so I knock on the door He has put them all away neatly stacked about 50 feet from drop of point. He says he is not happy THEY ARE BURNING TO QUICK AND ARE TO DRY !( apart from our logs what He had in the shed was fresh wet oak !!)

I hand him back his money and tell Him I would rather not have him as a customer if He is not happy with them I would rather someone else had them as we have 300 regular happy customers and as it was the week leading up to Christmas I had plenty of places to take them.

The look on his face was priceless
