cal Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 sounds like alot of b.s. especially for a guy who paid for the box i would be more worried if he had not paid . really with out knowing his the situation i would try and give him more than 48 hrs i think by law if it does not get claimed by 30 days you can do as you wish. just tell him you ran out of space and that he needs to come and pick it up or you will charge for stoarage for x amount of days ? after that the box goes outside and uf it gets weathered or stloen its not ur responsibility . try to atleast give him more than enough time so he cant blame you and also you can try and get some extra monies for your troubles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0dy Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Telling someone that you're either going to "burn it or sell it to some1 else" is tactless. If you're doing a business deal with someone, be professional and just say that it's using a lot of your free space preventing you from making boxes for other people and you need it out of there by X date or they will forfeit the box. The person already paid you, so it's not an issue of them not having the money. what the fuck do you think ive been doing? sitting around with my thumb up my ass?? professionalism went out the window a week ago.. i txt him EVERYDAY 2 or 3 times a day..and he continues to blow me off so i see it as your post was NOT needed Glad I'm not the one doing business with you. If you get cranky over a post online (one that wasn't even harsh, BTW) I can't imagine working with you in person. My point is that when dealing with someone that is a paying customer, you should be direct and concise. Give them a specific date and a specific outcome (and use spell-check). There's no need to burn potential bridges by acting aggressive, deal with the situation and move on.

pa-pa-platypus Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 i honestly say give him the 48 hrs and then find another use for it... like n8 said a stand for something lol and to the guys saying "well hes already paid for it i wouldnt worry about it" are narrow minded and only looking at this through blinders... the box is now costing the builder space,time, and essential money.. ill damn near guarantee the guy coulda found the time to swing by and get the box and this whole situation coulda been avoided Quote This isn't teeball.

You have your money, if he doesn't want the box, take an axe to it and leave the pieces on his doorstep. If it's bothering you that much, scrap the wood and only charge him the price of the wood. But when you ask us for advice, and turn around and start with an attitude like that, you can take that box, take a shit in it, and shove it up your ass. Talent is only a small portion of success. Being an ass is a complete fail. Oh, and if you want to be a prick, I'll be one too. This is in the wrong f*cking section. This doesn't have to do with general audio, it has to do with enclosures. There's a section for that. Edited April 28, 2012 by iceman1575 Quote POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweendog Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'd say your last text could have been a little more professional but I'd be pissed too. 48hrs sounds reasonable since you let him know the time frame. Maybe try to leave a voice message as well so the guy can't say some bs like oh my texts stopped working or whatever else he could make up. Owner doesn't seem to concerned to get it. He hasn't given you a legit excuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
