I bid on a job today 1 drop north london, late this evening I was offered the job, but now 2 drops, 1 north london ,1 in Peckham south london. I required more money. I didnt get the job or a chance to negotiate the price. Just told would ring back. Never did! Was I wrong, I dont think so, had been told full info upfront would of quoted accordingly. What would you have done.

I've had this same issue in the past. At the end of the day, if they listed the job properly, then there wouldn't have been an issue and you would've priced them for the 2 drops. Some vendors really don't think and want it done for peanuts, you done right in my eyes

Yes you right, the person offering the job would be getting paid for the 2 deliveries, best forget about it and move on if you don't you only end up, getting wound up, and at the end of the day I wouldn't want to do any work for anybody who isn't up front about any work offered.

Sometimes jobs do change, after priced or quoted on. Customers do change there minds and at times may add drops on to the original, that's not usually a problem if u have no other work booked, you gust need to re price according. All work done needs paying for.

Yes, you did the right thing. They should give us all the information.
