hi all,
iv worked for a family at various properties for a few years and always had happy clients
i recently priced a new mid range bathroom for them at £5700
price accepted happily and i took a £1100 deposit the week after
since then iv ordered most of the materials at a total cost of £3200
all the gear is currently in my house and garage,
they have since cancelled the job due to personal reasons and nothing to do with me, they are very apolojetic and a little bit embarrassed i think.
my problem is iv invested a lot of time in the ordering and collection of all the gear, most of which can be returned but will cost postage/courier/diesel and time. some things arent worth returning, ie small consumables, fixings, sealants, timber etc etc
now i want to give a refund of the deosit but dont want it to cost me in the long run. iv reaaranged the 2 weeks job with another so thats not a problem
i would just like to know any opinions in regards to "what do i do"
it will probably take me a full day just to arrange returns on the items
any help would be appreciated people
