Client stands me up two times.

I suppose send em a bill for your time...

Keep him as a client (you've been paid to date!). Just adjust future estimates for him to include the aggravation factor. We all hate to be stood up for meetings, but try to make this an economic decision instead of an emotional one. If you account monetarily for the time he wastes by charging him more in the future, win-win. He keeps his bad habits; you make more money.

Edit: Also, all future meetings could be scheduled for your place when you're going to be doing office work anyway. If he shows, bonus. If he doesn't, you're busy anyway. Perhaps he has used up his on-site meeting credits.

This is why having an office to meet in is important. Client is disrespecting you big time.?ÿ

I agree, let him come to your office if he wants anything.

Thumb drive full of data, never.

I knew a contractor who asked the plumber to stop by and pick up his check.

When the plumber arrived the contractor asked him if he could come back in an hour because something came up.

When the plumber returned the bill was made out for one hour more.

The contractor paid it.

Yup. ?ÿKeep it economic, not emotional. ?ÿHe won't be the last irresponsible jerk to cross your path.

A paying client is a good client & I admit I would be quite aggravated at being stood up but I would bill for the site visit (not the other one) and write a detailed letter explaining your reasons for needing to meet in person.

Keep track of your time, put it on the bill. don't say anything. It's ok to bill for time you spend without the client present. Good luck!

Do you have a cell phone? I'd of called him and ask him where he was. Seems like a pretty rigid relationship.
