motorbike leather zip

[k4mrc]

(i hope this is the right place for this topic,)

 

customer came in today for motorbike leather trouser zip replacement.

now i usually charge about 2-50 per inch, no problem stated the customer i was staggered,

and when i said £25-00 and he said the last shop wanted £80-00

and wanted up to 4 weeks!

and this is the bit i fell over laughing, they also stated it wouldn't be a very good job!

i have never in all my years heard someone running any kind of repair business with a statement like this, saying "the job will be crap - take it or leave it!"

i can understand trying to overprice a job not to do it when busy, but to say your work isnt/cannot be up to any decent standard - takes the biscuit.

just say if you dont want the work,

takes all sorts!

 

£30.00 to do the zip from me, the £5 more than you is because I would have spent longer rolling around the floor laughing & all this time has to be paid for.
