Default Well you can't please everyone!

Okay so I've done a few chrome bits for Ford owners here and there, and 99% of them are well happy with the result. But there's always one or two that just like to whinge and moan! I suppose it's the same in any trade. Some people are just time wasters I suppose.

The latest bloke (no names mentioned) is complaining the item wasn't chromed on the underside, or at the back! Likewise some people expect a 12 year old car part to be magically restored when it is chrome plated, and somehow be repaired of any blemishes on the original part. If I were to polish and chrome the entire part, even the unseen bits, all my prices would be tripled... not exactly a good idea eh?

Sorry for the rant but it's just the whingers always shout loudest, and the happy people stay quiet. Why does it have to be like that?

I suppose all I can do is take comfort from the fact that the minority aren't worth bothering with. Any advice from other sellers on dealing with these problems would be welcome.

Rant over
