njc110381 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Do your clients tell you that they could cut their own lawns for nothing Last time I tried to double the price of one of my jobs because I got my estimate so badly wrong and couldn't keep doing it for that price any more, that's exactly what they said I'm not saying that it's a vast amount of money and I'd be better off going to get it myself. £30 isn't a lot of money, £50 isn't all that bad. I'd pay £100 if I had to. I'm not a tight wad and am happy to pay the going rate for anything. This isn't being tight. I've been bent over and I'm just complaining about it! THE FACT IS EVERYONE ELSE I'VE DEALT WITH DOES IT FOR £25! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think maybe you guys get paid too much! I expect to have to work for nearly two hours for £30 Seems a lot for manual unskilled labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slug Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I exclusively use Essex gun Romford for my ammo and bits and bobs and I had recently bought a new gun from them, I think it was for this reason the owners charged me SFA to except an RFD transfer to them from another dealer when they couldn't supply what I needed..That's service !

Eastern Sporting Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Dear all, To clarify the debate on this subject we do not charge £50 for a transfer, we charge £30 which is roughly £25 + VAT. If a customer wishes their gun sent by TNT Next Day Delivery and insured, the carrier charges between £15-£18 + VAT. njc110381 - Please ensure you have the facts before posting. This is my family’s living, your views may affect. Thank you, Alan Eastern Sporting, Chelmsford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Neil, Watch out for jiffy bags frank marked from Essex. It will almost certainly contain a Jack Russell truffle :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunters_return Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Alan, This could be not so much a bad advert as a good one, as I for one did not know about your shop and now i do :-) so another customer gained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Alan, As said before in this thread Eastern Sporting gets very good rep on this site and I for one cannot rate your shop and services highly enough. See you next week to stock up on catridges again (at a discount of course for such a good review ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Another vote for Eastern Sporting. Alan is a super chap and always has time for everyone. Now, Essex Gun, they are totally "£$%^&* !!!!! (apart from big Al and George) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
