Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

wow, such great information I’ve gotten from you all. It all seems pretty clear that this cost + is quite unusual, and I take to heart what you have said. As an aside, pretty unusual to have almost unanimous opinions here on the wrenches, no? FYI, I”ve done many systems in Baja and I get paid

Hey Jay, Ditto on the input so far. How did they find & select you? Why did they select you? Who are they? [if they are lawyers or investment bankers run]. Do you know them? Cost plus works if there is trust. What have they done to provide trust for you? Nothing out of country happens

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

Hi Jay, My advice is walk away unless they want to meet your terms. You will save yourself a tremendous amount of trouble/waiting/lost sleep/lost money. I do 50% of my business internationally, mostly in the Caribbean. If they do not accept my very reasonable terms (prepay for all materials,

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

Pre-build it in a shipping container here! Have them pay for it all and inspect before shipment. They can keep a small portion for your final labor, travel, and expenses in a 2-way escrow account. When you are safely home you get the final amount and they get back an amount that is more than the

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

Ho Jay, I’d be extremely careful. First with your pricing, don’t forgive some of your legitimate costs. Add Shipping & Handling and taxes to all equipment purchases. Carefully estimate your labor costs, travel to Mexico, shipping across the border to Mexico. Are there any import costs? What

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

Jay Thank you but no thank you might be the best answer. Mexico can be a tough place to do business and potentially dangerous depending on where the project might be. They will have a contract that is written FOR THEM, not for you. Seller beware. peter Giroux American Solar -

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

I had it happen two ways, one asked for more and more details which i gave then they shopped my design out to another installer. The other time when the job was done they refused to pay mark up and said my labor was to high and said take it or leave it. On Jan 23, 2018 1:44 PM, "jay"

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

I've done this once because the client had duty free concessions, he had to have the manufacturer's invoices. I quoted him Cost plus 20 for the materials plus a labour fee and a management fee. He took the quote and I never heard from him again, guess he tried to buy the goods at the same cost.

Re: [RE-wrenches] 1,000V combiners

The reason I need these inverters is we had two CL60 480V inverters with bases, and they fell off the bases in the hurricane and filled with water. They were good inverters but the bases were garbage and could not support the inverters in high wind. Very disappointing as the arrays had only a

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

Jay We dont ask that and if we did we would get an ear full. However in the past with government projects they ask, l have heard different reasons why. But it in Mexico so anything could be required Jerry On Jan 23, 2018 11:44 AM, "jay" wrote: > > HI All, > > I’ve had a

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

jay, My view: My cost is no ones business but mine. You either pay what I charge for materials and labor or go elsewhere. FYI, with that position I still have a continual 1-2 month waiting list of people waiting to pay for our services. Being on the Mexico border, I’ve had a few developers

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

We do international shipping fairly often and always require prepayment. It can be difficult to do international wire transfers so we offer PayPal as an option and add on the "convenience fee". Don't ship without payment you have no way to get it back once it's gone. Wayne Irwin, President

Re: [RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

Sounds like a shaft but no mine involved ! Can you get your money and have it clear before it ships ? I understand that doesn’t even work with credit cards and a bogus cashiers check is a possibility Just some thoughts, Bob > On Jan 23, 2018, at 1:48 PM, jay wrote: > >

[RE-wrenches] has anyone ever had this happen?

HI All, I’ve had a large company want to do a project and they want me to invoice it as follows. They said it had to do with knowing the cost of the system, but that doesn’t seem right to me. Now I don’t want to get screwed here, and it sure seems that could happen. I’m pretty sure I know

Re: [RE-wrenches] 1,000V combiners

Hi Chris, Please note that US models on the Symo 24.0-3 come with integrated fusing on the terminal block, so what you are asking for may not be needed. SolarBos does make some rather nice pass thru combiners as well, the F6sk-1FF-4xp is the part number which we typically recommended. This is
