k4mrc Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 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.
