[howard]

hi guys finished a job today & told the lady adhesive & grout would cost £185.00 she nearly dropped dead she then asked for a receipt the problem i have is the receipt i have only comes to £136.00 because of my trade discount it should of been £226.00 retail so i have still knocked £40.00 off how do i get round this also i gave her the full discount on her tiles they should of been £1500.00 got her them for £900.00 well pis--ed off with her

tell her you need the receipt your self for your tax returns and you will give her a receipt from you ,or tell her you only get 1 receipt for your materials at the end of the month from shop

ask the tile shop to do you a costing sheet.. this will give the correct price and if she asks for a receipt tell her they were on account and you only get a monthly bill through the post .........dave..

If ever I get asked for reciepts I say I get billed monthly but can do a cost sheet for them to compare in stores, which is obviously stilla good bit less than in stores for them.

If you are providing materials you are entitled to charge what price you want. If she gets a bit shirty, ask her to go and buy the same stuff retail and she will get a bigger shock. Nobody asks Tesco how much they buy beans for, they are only interested in what they sell them for ..........

I've had this,I just said I need the receipt cause I bought some tools at the same time as buying their materials.I then knip down to Topps and get a read out for how much the materials should cost.She'll then hopefully be grateful that you got her some discount.

Well she better be the miserable bi**h!
