at this point ma'am, it's obvious you want to ruin my image here. You requested for 36". Right there with the tape is 33.5. The remaining is 1.5". If that 2" is what will make you squeeze your items, sorry about that.

If I had made it exactly 3ft, you will still complain that I didn't leave enough room for the doors to fit that your mason had to break wall to make it fit.

I'm sorry ma'am but I can't help you.

Greetings all...

I am about to transact some business with @Chizagi for some bath doors *Double panel American doors* purported to have a high water resistant ability.

I am starting with bath doors and if all goes well as he promised and he delivers just before this weekend, then more business and more clients may come his way.

He is transporting them from Lagos to Orlu at an agreed price.

I hope he gets a thumbs up from me and I shall return to tell you of the transaction later.

Una well done ooo

Michlin, what audacity ? The nonchalant and your carefree attitude is what baffles me . You said u cant help me ? I dont need help , what i demand is what rightfully belongs to me . Contracting u to do 3ft door is what i paid for and should be delivered but u chosed to shortchange me .You think coming to Nairaland to seek for jobs and pretend to know what ur doing but now it becoming clearer on ur intent to cheat ur client and fill up ur pocket.
U don enter one chance cos i wont allow u rest on Nairaland until u sort me out as i wont allow any intending client fall for ur gimmicks so be ready

Attached are the reasons

That would be true if customers are charged in kVA. But customers are charged in kW, so its irrelevant.

The only downside is that you will need higher current to power same load when coiled than when not coiled. Because of increase current, more heat would also be generated in the enclosure. Even at that the coil would have to be substantial to cause much inductance at 50hz frequency.

During lightening however, induced current can be very high in that length of wire and can increase potential for sensitive equipment damage.

An acre of land is 4,046 square metres. This means that the perimeter of the land can be approximately calculated which will be used to get the estimate for the fencing. The cost will depend on some considerations: the nature of the soil, type of materials to be used for the perimeter fence - blocks, barb wire, wood etc, height of the fence and other factors.
So, you should decide on this and also hint us on the nature of soil.

The feedback I have for you can’t be dropped here. The difference in the cost is too much.

Can we do this via email? Or Whatsapp?

You’re free to share the difference after you receive my message.

Tnx.

This is the second time this is coming up against you. The other time it has to do with windows not actual size quoted for. People are watching.
It will do you good to resolve your issues with this client.

Is this the way to go? Gbas gbos with your customer.
Please find a way around this o. If it's possible retrieve the door and give her back her money. She asked for 3ft door, you should have given her exactly what she asked for, anything less is courting trouble. If you intended to remove some inches you should have let her know and not assuming for your customer. Learn to explain everything to your customer ab initio. The wahala with this door is already too much.

sir I am a vendor here and still I am human who deserves a respect. If you take offense with my response and feel ok with her statement, I don't know what to say about it.


She gave me a measurement saying she wants 7ft by 3ft. I deducted 3" from the measurements for the plastering. How on earth is this fraud? Go anywhere, this is the industrial standard. It has been discussed extensively here. She's quick to bring screenshots here. Do you know what she has said to me over the phone and how she has insulted me. Even a slave deserve a better treatment

Did you tell her when you decided to deduct from the measurements she gave you?

Did she ask you to do any deduction?

The whole issue is coming from a point of strained relationship. Normally this shouldn't degenerate to this level. I kind of understand where the vendor is coming from, cos even if he supplied exactly 3ft, that extra 3" or thereabout will be lost in the plaster. He should have explained to the client.

please sir, that's how doors are made. Even the prefabricated doors are smaller.

Here's how it goes. A sheet of pan is 8ft and when divided by four gives you 2ft plus 3" of the pipes. That's 30" then you add frames which is usually 1.5" on both sides. That's a total of 33".

This is the way it works. If you want to expand the size, you will have to add pipes in-between to increase it.

These things are like this anywhere and everywhere
