I thought all the wedding stuff was more or less done...

You know, as much as I loved my photographers, their organization is total crap. Basically back in October I told them I needed a parent album. They told me it would be 450 including shipping to Milan and that they would have it to me by Nov 18 bc I was leaving for NY on Nov 19. Well Nov 15 rolled around and I still hadn't heard from them so I

Ugh, that sucks. So, is that the Italian way of up-selling? Be disorganized and do whatever you want, then expect the customer to pay for your mistakes? I do love your wedding pictures, though.

How's the wedding business going?

[tlew12778]

Yeah basically. I just figured that out today. Although, the more I thought about it, I am going to ask them to invoice my business that way I can deduct it as an expense. I mean, I need an album to show my clients right?

The business is going SLOW. Mainly this is an excuse but I have very little time and inclination to get my crap in gear. I wrote up the text for my website, I downloaded the pictures I want to use, but I need a logo to pull everything together. First Sonia was supposed to take care of that then she totally flaked out on me. In December, after I spent a lot of time pissed at her, I asked my sister to do it, but she also sort of blew me off. So now I am asking a friend of C's to do it. Only first we were sick, then he was sick with what we had. I will call him this week to get my crap in gear. The job search is not going well, so I really, really need to get moving on this.

Wow, Tiff, that sounds annoying.... Why should it be YOUR problem when they are the ones who fuck up??? Hope this is the last problem you encounter with them......

I have a question for you - have you heard of Zenzero and Galateo catering? Probably not b/c they're Tuscan, but I thought it was worth asking you!

[tlew12778]

Nope. Caterers are always local. Other vendors move around, so I know more about others but not caterers. I have the email address of another girl who used the same coordinator as you. If you want I can it to you so you can ask who she used.

So let's see...450 euro including shipping to Milan to 900 euro? How'd they get that figure. So, let's say it's 420 for just the album, with shipping to NY, that's only 540 euro. That would make the storage box 360 euro! Thats about $470US! That better be one fantastic box.

[tlew12778]

My old secretary said the same exact thing last night. She asked if it was hand embroidered with real gold or something. Nothing of the sort though. They did in fact say that the box was absurdly expensive and that they did not ask how much it would be before ordering it. WTF? Who does business like that? I guess when it's not your money you don't care?

Hi! Welcome to my LJ. What's your CC user? I didn't find you on the member list so I assume you have a different name over there.
