I feel like I need to chime in, here.
A, I am NOT a bank.......................I am finding very difficult to pay my copy costs at my ROD's. Several of my clients are approaching 90 days on payment. The ROD's that I deal with expect payment within 30 days, I expect the same.
B. The clients that I do have that pay me in a timely manner are bearing the brunt of those that don't.
C. To my clients that are WAY behind in payment: Not my problem that you took on work for a company that is WAY behind on paying you (and you forwarded that work to me, and I performed that work, including copies).
D. I have not previously charged for plat maps and tax reports that I can get online, but I am going to start doing that, I'm using my ink and paper and time to do this. Additionally, I think I will start charging an additional fee to the actual cost of copies.
I simply cannot finance all of these copies. I need to stay in the good graces of my ROD's.
An additional note:
I am letting any new client know that I bill at a minimum once a month - most new clients are billed at the time of service. If my invoices are not paid in a timely manner, they are shut off.
Just my two cents.
