Considering the volume and the location of your proposed building, this amount you are requested to pay falls within the normal range, if its fair is a different thing.
You should also be ready to pay into the LIRS koffers to get an updated tax clearance certificate for the building permit issuance process.

Hello, this is not how to promote anything that you genuinely believe is working with this kind of video recording. You should show people in clear video to convince people that it's really working. Don't sow the impression of scam in people's mind even if you believe what you're doing is working. Posting 3 minutes of unclear video will not convince any serious people to patronize you. That is just my little advice to you. You need to convince people that what you're doing can work for hours. That way people can take you serious.

Good day NL fam.
I want to ask for opinions of everyone here. Many of our ogas and beloved clients are here. We also have here is fellow artisans who may likely have experienced this thing. I have talked about this here some time ago.

To the glory of God, I've worked with several nairalanders and I've had 90% positive experience from both home-based and abroad-based clients. However, there are few not-so-great clients which is expected as people differ. The grouse here is about some potential clients who would ask you to come to their site (especially in another town/state) to take measurements or even start immediately, only for them to leave you stranded without any tangible reason than saying "You're a scam". I recently had this bitter experience from someone who contacted me from here. We've discussed and she was well aware of my location and that I had to travel to where her site is located. I left home as early as 6am and got there around 9a.m. we were supposed to get the materials on that day. I met with the site engineer who said he had no knowledge of what I'm talking about even though she said otherwise. I called her and she said she's busy and I have to wait till 1pm before she send money. I waited. And by that time she changed tone, telling me she cant trust me, someone from a different city, with her job. I was very surprised. I tried explaining things to her and she just went off and called me all sorts. I was so stunned I didn't even know what to do. The day was wasted. Time, money and resources all wasted. I had rejected a job slotted for that day because I was so sure I was going to get materials for her site as we discussed. I was given #5k for tfare even though I spent double of that. I didn't want any wahala, na so I traveled back. It felt surreal but it is what it is.

Now, this is the second time I'm experiencing this. The first time was when I went to Benin and I was communicating with the woman till I get to Benin after a whole day journey only for her to do a turnaround. Since then, I do ask for tfare at least from prospective clients. Especially if I have to travel to your site. You can deduct it from my payments if I eventually start the job, if not, I lose nothing. That worked but not all clients agree to it.
Sometimes even, when some refuse mobilization fee, I tell them at least pay for the materials directly to the outlet I'm buying. That way, even if na scam, they get the materials and I get nothing. We all know as Nigeria be so I'm not offended that some clients want to be 100% sure. But as you as a client is trying to be safe, please also consider the artisans.
We also take risks to go to people and sites that we don't know. We've seen cases of people who were kidnapped or robbed just because they went to check a site. And there's also this particular matter I just raised. We should be able to meet each other halfway because life itself is a risk.

So you mean I should have posted 5 hours video of the inverter working? I am not advertising battery, what i am advertising is an inverter and what I am showing in the video is to show the capacity of the inverter, that it can power a lot of appliances, including inductive loads all @ the same time.

I was even thinking the video I made is too long, because people don't have the time to watch long videos these days. There is nothing like scam here, no be today I dey do business on Nairaland and my good records is still intact till date.

It is a tricky situation where the odds are stacked against you. We've not heard from the client and we may never hear from the client.

I understand the motivation to land a job, so the need to bend over backwards to accommodate a client. However, it is acceptable to demand for a mobilisation fee upfront. In situation like this, the cost of mobilisation (visit to site) will be deducted and the balance returned to the client. The percentage of deduction MUST be discussed with the client before making payment. It is not something you make up along the way or as the spirit led.

If a client is not comfortable in mobilising their tradesperson, they shouldn't be making contact in the first place. It is also the client's responsibility to ask for the structure and method of payment to avoid situations like this.

It is unfortunate.

Sorry about your bad experience.
Its what it is.... I don't even know what to advice.

But keep being real no matter what, ie be transparent in your dealing.

Lastly - you have proferred a solution while BEND it?

You said you ask for transport for out of state jobs... LOOK - any1 that cannot pay your transport to come check a site in ANOTHER STATE - take it or leave it is not your client. Abort it.

In the same state no issues but another state, he or she shd pay the trans to show commitment also.

Goodluck.
