Tilers: Why Not Say Good Morning Before Work?

[Old Mod]

The way I see it, if they can’t supply a delivery service, they shouldn’t be selling it!

Morning all.....
The delivery drivers take the ****.
I had a customer that had 50m2 of floor tiles delivered and they would only drop them at the kirb side.
I made myself scarce that day...!

Why can't the client carry them in...?

Oh kerbside here is normal, normally drop them in the road and run! So you have to move them immediately or you’ll get done for causing an obstruction. Not much room on the roads round here. Liberty takers. But not heard of the supplier making those demands before to be honest. And Ctd have only just started selling these tiles.
Looks like they may have to stop soon, unless they put their delivery charges up £500 a drop to cover the cost of two guys sitting around all day to lift a few tiles. 😛

There is something in there terms and conditions i think that states
that they will drop them at the door 😕 only. Most drivers will help get them in.

I don’t know Andy, I’ve not even responded to the messages as yet, I’m still laughing at the statement!

I got a call from the client two weeks ago saying that Ctd had had a word with them and they were tomake sure that the tiler (me) had a suitable lifting frame cos these tiles are fragile and break easy! Haha
How to sell your product 101!!!
It’s amateur hour at Ctd it seems.
And the client kept banging on about how they had just had a seminar at Ctd all about these “big tiles” and I kept saying “ I know, I was there!”
She wasn’t listening, just kept on!
She’s also on the verge of loosing a tiler I reckon.
Don’t want the job as it is, got better things to do with my time.

Sorry to say but if I'm not supplying the tiles, I'm not humping them around foc.

My pet hate is when I'm tiling a bathroom upstairs and all the customer can do is back his car to the garage and off load the tiles in there......
