Service Business : Last minute customers should be charged premium price. What do you think?

[Trush Jodie]

There are customers that always call to book services and the timeframe for delivery of the service is just a day or two or a timeframe that would put the skilled pro into pressure.

You can't take your clothes to the laundry man to wash and you expect him to deliver in two hours. Do you think these last minute customers should be charged premium price?

This is a very good question. In ground truth, last minute customers often want services very quickly and that pressure makes a skilled pro use more energy and time. It is a saying that hurry is not a blessing.

Therefore, setting a premium price for last minute requests is completely fair because it compensates for stress and extra effort. This also teaches customers to plan ahead. It's like if you call a taxi at midnight, the price goes up. Same logic applies here.

If a customer is going to put you under so much pressure with urgent orders, they should be ready to pay you premium prices. I am in support of that. B

The risk with gigs that are brought at the last minute is that the urgency can make you, the service provider to make mistakes in the job.

If you want the job to be done in a shorter period of time, then you should be willing to pay an extra price.

I would be suspending some other person's work if I am to deliver for another customer urgently. And I have to be compensated for potential troubles.
