I'm so annoyed right now I just had to get it out! We had a couple of different quotes on our new fence and on Jan 1st decided to go with a particular guy because he was a bit cheaper but also said he could get it done by the end of Jan no probs - maybe sooner depending on how long the manufacture and powder coating of the metal portion of the fence took.
I paid a deposit on the 2nd Jan and he rang to confirm he'd received it and placed the order for the fence. Since that day I have not had any communication with him that wasn't initiated by me, and guess what - that's right - now the 4th Feb and no fence!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr.
I can understand delays but can't stand it when tradies have poor communication and can't keep you updated. I have rung him 3 times over the last 1.5 weeks to try to find out what the eta is and finally got hold of him today. He said he hasn't had time to contact the manufacturers as he has 'so much work on' (poor him and oh, not my problem buddy).
To top it off he had the nerve to sound annoyed that I'd rung him 'again'... well buddy if you just told me what was going on in the first place I wouldn't have to stalk you. I tell ya - if we weren't so far down the track I'd be tempted to tell him to shove it, except unfortunately I'm pretty sure that most of them are the same in my experience
Thanks for listening lol
