How much more would you charge for emergency order as a service provider?

[Fidelia]

Service providers like tailors and laundry people are sometimes faced with emergency orders, and they might have to suspend a particular job they are handling at hand to attend to that emergency order.

How much higher than the original price would you charge for an emergency order? For me, I would charge double of the normal price for an emergency order.

 

[King Belieal]

If a client needs my services under emergency, it means that I would stress myself to be able to deliver. I charge 3 times the normal price.

 

[Starmix]

I think it depends on the services provider. If she has 3 staff she could add and order payment must be double.

 

[King Belieal]

Even if she has extra staff or apprentices, it would still be a strain for someone to meet up an order that came in very urgently and needs immediate delivery. Service providers should seriously charge for those kinds of orders.

Most of the service providers charge double their rates for emergency services, and I think it's fair because you have to stop the regular services for these emergency services.

 

[Fidelia]

If you want an urgent service,. you must be ready to pay money for that. Most customers want that urgent service but would still be trying to pay the regular price. It is not tenable.

 

[Starmix]

I could accept double payment if I order in bulk, but if it is only one item I wont pay double. That is impractical.

 

[King Belieal]

Double payments might just be the ideal increase to charge. That depends on the number of works the service provider would have to suspend to deliver your own. Some even charge more than double. I gave a clothes to someone to sow and I needed it in. The next five hours, I was charged more than double the normal pricing.

Adding another 5% charge fees for emergency would not be a bad idea just let them it is a small amount

I don't think that you are being fair. A tailor for instance would suspend someone's clothe to sew your own and deliver instantly for a 5% increase from the normal price? That's unfair to the fashion designer.

Well, these things varies if it is something more tedious then you can increase the rate to a reasonable amount . it should not be for any tiny little things like even fast delivery

Before I accept the job, I would make sure it's something I can do and it won't affect my relationship with my other customers. I can't loose customers simply because one in particular pays more. If I know I can do the job, then whatever I charge would depend on how stressful the job might be.

 

[King Belieal]

I know that I personally would charge very close to double the price. It might mean that you would have to stress yourself meeting up that particular work and other works that you already had.

Emergency service fees might seem high, but there's more to it. These services require specialized equipment, constant readiness, and handle complex situations. It's not just stopping regular services, but the extra costs of being prepared for the unexpected.

 

[King Belieal]

That is the thing I have always told people. That quickness where you need to always be ready without any previous thoughts is what makes emergency services a bit high.

The thing is just to charge a reasonable amount let the customer know you are not taking undue advantage of them.

There is nothing like a reasonable amount for emergency services. If you don't want to pay up to double for a service, plan yourself ahead and have that service done for you way before you need to use it actively.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people wants to make their customers happy it isn't just about the money but satisfying your customers

 

[Kross]

I would charge double of the normal amount. I can't be satisfying a customer and end up gaining nothing. Business is all about making profits. Everyone knows that even accepting to do an urgent order is enough customers satisfaction.

 

[Augusta]

in all we do , we need to try and satisfy the customer and make the person happy that whatever extra was being charged still worth it
