Thread: 100 days after paying

Owning a service business, as I do, the amount of shit I am left with from people just not collecting their stuff is unbelievable. And of course the ones that are told their shit is not worth repair and then its "well don't throw it out, Ill pick it up" bullshit its still here 6 months later. They day I chuck it is the day they come back! I have a 3 month sign in the shop, saying after 3 months it gone! Nice to show them.

hell i fully agree!
in my workshop: an electric skateboard, guy contacted no reply received. (worth 600 plus and my bill is $120)
home theater amp. has been wet and considered unrepairable, wont even acknowledge messages so i have to clutter up the place with it
dashboard from a boat, wont answer messages
it cost me time ($) to keep contacting these people. today i repaired an amplifier that was a "rush job" end result " i will pick it up when i go passed next, dont know when"

time to go work for someone else again i think cos frankly the admin is bullshit.
