The other 1.5hrs was almost useless since I never knew it was only a keyboard. My basic service charge for going that far out of town is $50, in town $35. I just feel the client did not get anything, but that is partially their responsibility by partially answering what type of piano is it. Dave Renaud >> Your charge is $50 to go "that far out of town." How far is "that far"? We've discussed this on the list before, but it might be interesting to cover this topic again, since there are some new people on the list. What is the "rule of thumb" for going out side your "normal" service area? I was taught a long time ago to charge $1 per mile, one way to the destination, on top of the regular service fee. I now charge $1.50 per mile. What are some other thoughts on this matter? How much? how far? Willem
