    She is taking a serious chance! Tell her you will be sending her a invoice for your time.

    Name and shame - people like this need to be given a wide berth!

    I would send her an invoice for your time at at least R1000 per hour for wasting your time with an non-competitive quote....

    and when she laughs at you for that, laugh at her for her invoice and tell her to go and fsck herself.

    Her name is Erica van der Westhuizen and the company is called Skoonheid Blomme. Contact number 082 650 26xx

    We also dealt with a woman, I assume her daughter, Madele van der Westhuizen. She has been quite helpful and pleasant.

    So we started shopping around, and soon found that her prices were indeed quite high... R700 to hire a white arch when I can get the identical thing for R200. The worst was that when she emailed the final quote, there was a R2500 "consultation fee" which she said absolutely nothing about before!! I was like

    Anyway, so after seeing some more places that hire out stuff the SO and I decided that this Erika lady was way too expensive, that we gonna do it ourselves. We sent her an email saying thanks for everything, but we going to go another route.

    I just got a call now informing me that she will be sending me an invoice for her "time". R500.

    There was no mention of this fee verbally or written. There is no quote rejection fee, nothing on the stuff she sent to me. But now she wants to bill me R500 coz we not going with her???

    Thoughts???
    I would send her 5 competitor quotes stating that there is no Consultation Fee for any of them, then I would invoice her R 12 500 for market research performed.

    so : what!? is she freakin mad? we not paying that!

    You must have been really desperate for flowers. The only place I know where mom and dad look the same is Brakpan
