Our terms are 30 days after completion - one customer wants 45 days! You just can’t win!

Clarify when you quote, payment on completion, start of the last week warn them, last day is payment ready ? Don’t finish the job until paid.

One customer who was a high ranking officer in the navy said to me after plastering out his double extension and other work when presented with the bill can I pay you when my shares do better as not very good at the moment 😬😬

Had a sort of similar "row" with blocklayers, who built a wall for me. The problem was, I initiated the call & agreed a price for the work they were doing with me. I then advised them that my neighbor beside & behind me were also interested in getting work done, & suggested they call on them. When they rang back they gave me a price for all 3 jobs. Told them I will not be taking the "lead" & will only be giving them the money for my project & they contact my neighbors with their quotes. They did. All the jobs were completed, & they called on me for ALL of the money! I gave them my agreed amount, reminded them of our previous conversation & advised them to contact my neighbors for their "shares". Things got testy then! One of the neighbors wasn't at home, & they weren't leaving until they got paid (which is understandable), so parked outside my home & waited. Was quite intimidating
