onionbargee Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 How would you feel about a boatyard charging you £60 to move another customers boat that they put in place blocking your boat being craned back in the water ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I wonder which boatyard this might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHS Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 So you didn't cheerfully hand them your hard earned cash and thank them for their help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) When we had Banstead taken out before we bought it. We had to hire a crane for the day at a cost of 1.2k we were not onsite that day, so the boatyard shifted at least 6 other boats and we paid for the lot + were liable for any punchers!

mark99 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 How would you feel about a boatyard charging you £60 to move another customers boat that they put in place blocking your boat being craned back in the water ? I think that's the cost of a certain email last week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would refuse to pay and insist that they moved the boat out of the way themselves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm inclined to think they are trying to make life difficult for you, to encourage you to leave! Especially after your recent comments here about them. And I doubt it is going to get any better now. MtB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Did you tell them when you wanted to move your boat? I ask as we are now wedged in by several boats at our yard. We have told them we are staying put until early March. If we suddenly change our minds and want to go back in next week, then yes I would expect them to charge me. I am causing them work in that case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) think I got the wrong end of the stick thought it was a moored boat in the way of the craning-in point. oh dear Edited December 1, 2014 by magnetman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think that's the cost of a certain email last week. Yes I can't help feeling that any scathing criticism should have been kept back until you weren't reliant on them for getting your boat back in the water.

Burgiesburnin Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 These people sound like the boatyard from hell. They should be named and shamed at every opportunity. The way that they act would appear to border on extortion and a complaint to the local law enforcement would be appropriate. Where is Esther Ranson (?) when you need her?

Timleech Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) When our boat was moved South for the Jubilee Pageant, we had to pay an extra £100 for them to move a boat out of the way because we needed to be lifted in on that particular day. If we'd been able to do the job the day before there wouldn't have been that charge. I assumed there was something complex involved, never found out,but wasn't really in a position to argue. Bl**dy Southerners!! Tim Edit - I've just been reading the other thread, it wasn't that yard. Edited December 1, 2014 by Timleech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatsyourboat Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Is this to move by rope? If it states in their terms that they can move your boat without notification your in luck as this will mean that moving your boat is at their convenience so cant charge you for any inconvenience by their own creation. Simply smile give the bill back and say ''no'' What can they do at the end of the day without breaking the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onionbargee Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) I can't think what's upset them ?They do this kind of thing to their customers quite often so I believe. That's why few ever come back. They seem to be determined to go bankrupt.( you will notice the libel they posted about me has been taken down, the rest of their claims about me are not true either ) Edited December 2, 2014 by onionbargee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
