When Customer Says You're Too Expensive

[bert large]

Or move the whole thread to the Arms ?

say a town over one of us quotes, slightly more expensive and they use your figures, decide we are ripping them off and then tell everyone we are cowboys.

i know we all charge different rates but what if someone in bucks posts up and are cheaper than you.
customer then quotes the other guys rates of pay and refuses to pay yours.

the annoying thing about the internet !!!!

i quoted to fit an outside tap.
person agreed, i turned up, they had read up on the screwfix forum it shouldn't be more than 25 quid.

Welcome to my world.

Thats not London, I'm in bucks. I ain't bothered in telling people what I charge, why the secret?

I'm not asking you to edit your post Jase. I'm telling you.

You know full well that we do not discuss prices in open forum.

As long as prices aren't mentioned it's ok. It does the customer the world of good to know that there's a rationale to what we charge.

But no prices. Therein lies a bidding war.

I'm available my remuneration can be measured in jammy dodgers and wagon wheels. My work is so immense it cannot be measured and so grand that no price of less than a grand may be applied.

My diesel costs are around £20 per week, I'm lucky enough to have a good customer base right on my doorstep.

I say if you want a cheap job, get a handyman not a plumber. If you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

These people who moan about price because they saw it on he internet quoted as that are the sort of people that you don't want as customers, they are the sort of people who will ask for a complete breakdown of everything including how many elbows and how many screws etc. if you want to delete then fine but I ain't editing as I don't know how on my iPhone. Have enough trouble writing threads, let alone editing them
