We have made arrangements with a local mover who’s repair,work,we have handled for years. We schedule at least a half day of stops for them. They charge us $85 per stop and we pass that on to the client. They can make 3-5 stops. It is a good rate that we are all happy with and it saves us a lot of money and time. Still a lot of people decide to drop off.

Pick up and Delivery?

jafo <capt....@gmail.com>: May 24 09:21AM -0700 So, my shop van finally bit the bullet! I was trying for 400,000 miles and she took her last drive at 396,000 mile.....I was more upset that the van didn't make to 400,000 than the enging dying itself....Probably a blessing since the logo and decals were holding the body together......sooooooooooo,   after seeing sticker shock on new vans (ford transit)......I think I need to raise my pick up and delivery rates..... Now I know why my plumber charges me $300 for a 20 min job!....It's his new van!   I drew a map and radius lines and came up with some rates....$20, $40, $60, $90 each way...I called a new furniture store to see what they charge for delivery and even a close one is $125 on up...   I am thinking about basing it on my shop rate $85/hour (too low? I haven't raised it in 10 years)...What do you all charge for it or even offer it? When I say I charge, you would be surprised at how many people say...Oh, I can just drop it off and pick it up myself....great....that saves me time!...But I do think it is something I would like to continue as I do get some large jobs.....   Open to suggestions and hearing what other people do...   Thanks
