A question or two.

I have someone doing some work for me that is running very late.

So far the excuses have ranged from the recent flooding has caused a delay, to the factory has closed for three weeks for Christmas.

Now while I can understand the flooding causing some delays, ( transport and deliveries etc), do Thai factories really close for Christmas? For three weeks?

No.

But some companies close for New Year... Usually it's a week. I heard of 10 days. 3 weeks? Never.

However, I HAVE heard of suppliers lying through their teeth and coming up with complete bullshit to excuse shoddy service quite often.

Sounds like the usual cod ****... keep pestering.... every day..... they'll get bored and finish it.

Yeah. I thought that I was being given the runaround.

Just wanted to check with you guys on the ground if this was likely.

I can't imagine a furniture factory in BKK closing for that long. Too much business to lose.

we close from 25.12. till 4.1. - so 10 days. 3 weeks is a bit long...
