Some Peer Advice Needed
Ive been given an order for 30 vans from a company I have dealt with for a year now. I designed the van free of charge in order to get the work (it took quite alot of to’ing and fro’ing to settle on the design). Now the price I gave for the first three vans was based on brand new vans with no decals to remove, however the remaining 27 vans have quite alot of vinyl to remove before I can start.
I dont want to do it free as I can see some of them being a pain in the butt, but I dont want to charge an excessive amount to remove them.
I would usually charge about £60 but im considering just pitching in at £25 ontop of the fee.
Does this seem fair or would others do it in with the price?

Sorry, but busy fool springs to mind. Are you able to remove the vinyl and clean the panels in under an hour. Its a nice job to get, but do you want to blow your profit on stripping just to do the fleet.
Think about van 20 with 10 to go, if you have gone too low on price, you are going to be less enthused about completing the work. Price it right, and prob offer the final couple of strips free if all goes well……

Depends what you are charging per van, but I suspect you have had to be quite competitive to get the contract. John Childs would be the best one here to give advice on that quantity.
It’s a thankless task removing vinyl, we tend to ask the customer to supply the vans ready to take the graphics, we have also ‘trained’ a member of the customers staff to remove as well.
I wouldn’t do these for £25, even £60 is too little (dependent on the amount of vinyl).
Good luck

The £25 is the fee that the bodyshop in the yard im based at would charge me to put their young lad on it, sorry I should have explained better.

That’s fine, just double it, that’s still below the going rate or give them the option to do it.

Cheers Jason, I actually quite like the idea of training one of their staff to do it themselves too just incase the bodyshop need their boy back lol

Is that £25 per van, or per hour?

Ive quoted £250 per van (transit size strip only) for a recent contract, mind you it is diamond grade plus other logos, feel this is about right, its going to be a lot of work if I get the job…………. :lol1:
