Should I pay these guys? Legal Question..

[#-3]

I work as a purchaser, so couldn't give you legal advise but.

Ethically you probably should be paying them for services you agreed to. There is nothing wrong with asking for a discount, and they have offered you 10% which is probably OK but not great. Unless you can take the time and effort to prove damages they probably wont move from their first offer.

If you are going to continue disputing this.
1) stay in contact with them, let them know exactly what you are looking for, odds are your offer will be better than a collection agency and its best to avoid getting to that point.
2) Be prepared to retain a lawyer, but this will put you back in the position of trying to prove damages.
If you can't do both of those for the amount of money we are talking about it's not worth the effort/risk.

You dont go into FoI much do you?

Come on NHL, drop the puck already.

The NHL should adopt a minimum wins system where teams that dont have the minimum number of wins have to keep playing each other until they get them and theres only one left.

Anyways, sorry I didnt mean to take that out on you specifically but I've always disliked the 'waste of time' theory when it concerns CP. Thats sort of what its here for.

No worries. It's a fair point. I was being a bit snarky myself.

Needless to say I was pretty unhappy with them.

6 weeks longer? what was the original time frame. If this was a 2 week job that took 8 I would't pay. that is a long damn time you should be getting a discount in the 50-75% range. If it was a bigger job where 6 weeks was not that huge of a change then I'd still want more than 10% off, get em to double it

I would say identify your real losses that the six week delay caused you plus an hourly rate for your time to expidite the shipment. Add it up send them the info and say that is the maximum you are willing to pay.
