So if someone asks you for a rate to move a load 6-12 months in the future you’d stick to that rate no matter what your costs are…ok. What about when the person signs something agreeing that the price can change? It’s not a purchase agreement, at the top of mine it said “Order Summary”. On the last page it says while they make every effort to ensure correct pricing that price is subject to change. If that wasn’t ok with the OP then they shouldn’t have paid a deposit and submitted the order. I paid my deposit, then paid $1500 to keep my spot for 2021, then paid an additional $1000 for someone to go down and get my truck instead of waiting on the delivery company to bring it up. If they’re really that bent over the $15k then the smart thing to do would be to buy the truck and then list it and still probably make $30k profit on it right now. If they told the dealer today they wanted their deposit back that truck would be resold before the close of business.Oxbow, larry2903, p608 and 1 other person Thank this. -
PS: looking from the other side, no one anticipated to have such inflation on heavy equipment withing 3 months. So, deal with it, or sit at home, drink tea and eat cookies, waiting for an unemployment benefits.
