Talked to a Rep going through the motions.
MODERATORS Please remove the vendor name from this thread and info pertaining to the email
-I kept the info out on purpose and not action has been set in stone yet so there is no reason to cause bad reputation at this point.

since there is little morality left in business these days ('It's not personal , It's just business") I'm not sure what they will do, you have a receipt for material delivered with a price on it, that would seem to be a no brainer. But these days I'm not sure, they may think they have wiggle room, since the facility is not an actual final destination but just a collection point.
When I talked to them I didn't feel comfortable with them. I got the distinct impression we were all small potatoes to them, which in fact may actually be true, but not something you want your customers to feel.
I.m bleeding thousands here waiting on these servers and hard drives.

I went thru and removed my posting completely with the Email and went on thru and took out their name and the "Florida" reference in the other postings. I hope this is what you were referring to, let me know. Also your PM box is full so you might want to "trim some fat", lol MikeOriginally Posted by Dunemaul

I'm not down there but I got both price sheets up here and I didn't see a major problem, I think someone "crying wolf". Their just adjusting for the added trucking charges to bring it up here, A semi and diesel fuel isn't cheap.

The above post is why i absolutly refuse to ship ewaste. I deliver it to my local buyer and he hands me cash.I could get more if i shipped but this way i have the last minute option of refusal.The other reason i sell locally is because my buyer provides LOCAL jobs to the community.I was born and raised here this area has been hit hard by the recession and jobs are few and far between.The almighty dollar should not always be the main concern.

Fordsix Im still buying locally :-p and all money made funds my bills :-p

The almighty dollar is a concern....I have a family to support etc and I can get more even after shipping than selling locally.......I bust my ass 7 days a week tearing apart nasty, dusty, old electronics and I want a fair price for my hard labor......I am strictly a one man operation and make a decent living doing this......Not saying I don't have bill collectors breathing down my neck for past mistakes but I'm going to continue to ship my ewaste until it becomes nonprofitable to ship

Cash in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
My understanding is price is locked in when it hits the dock. What I would be concerned is with the shark and lappys getting "complete" pricing one they receive it, I'm seeing a charge-back looming. Hope you sent a lot of pics and kept all communication.

Fordsix; Not everybody has an e-waste buyer localy or within driving distance. Your lucky you have a good buyer near you that I have also used even though it was about 150 miles roung trip for me bacaue the stuff I had was not worth shipping. I have also driven to Dune's place with e-waste and that was about 200 miles round trip. But to get the most money for high end e-waste I do ship to buyers on this forum.

Everything we turned in as complete was complete. You missed the 200lbs of incomplete in the back of the warehouse we brought in previously. And the server had hdds and power supplies and was fully functional it dont get more complete then that. Not worried about it in the least. Now what day my check gets here next week does make me wonder.

Sorry if some of you got the wrong idea from my post.I was merely stating what i do and the reason why.I probably was somwhat confrontational because a deal i had about 6 months of effort into just crashed.One of the great things about this country is that we are all free to do bussiness as we see fit.It was not my intention to ruffle any feathers and i apologize if i have done so.

You might want to hold your high grade for a bit, working on a deal you guys will like.

Lol was thinking the same thing. Unless the high grades going for 4$ a lb.
Well everyone on this thread. How is a big welcome to the scrap industry. Prices drop and everyone and I mean everyone covers there asses. From the brokers to the refinery or mill to the scrap yards. Grades change and so do prices at the drop of a hat. They don't want to lose a penny and neither do you. You are lucky they didn't just outright reject your loads and send them back to you. Then you are stuck with the material again and have to pay to ship it again. This is by far one of the toughest industries in the world. The sharks are circling are you gonna swim on another day or become a meal for someone.

Piston if they did I would have made more money and been paid the same day...(new buyer)...... The cuts were purely to keep open the terminals and make them viable. I got one part of a check. 2 drop offs still haven't been paid for.
And just like you said it is part of the industry, I mistook a very broadly worded email, suspect i would get my drop offs lowered because they hadn't been paid out. They have honored the prices for when the day they where dropped off. Then fact that the first shipment still hasn't been paid for means if i hadn't said anything i would be waiting on a payment some time end of next week hopefully. This market is to volatile at my level to sit on my hands for half the time it would have taken to get the material refined is insanity.
Ill leave that for other business models i got a good niche
