Services That Are A Total Rip-Off

We place a lot of national newspaper adverts for a couple of clients. Most newspapers have automated FTP systems were we can upload adverts directly to them and we get charged anything from £3-£5 per ad. Nothing too heavy as the clients are probably paying anything up to £10K for the placing anyway.

 

However, the Daily Express will only allow adverts to be supplied to them via a 3rd party repro house in London.

 

They charge anything between £117-£324 just to receive our email containing a PDF. Check its suitability for print and then sending this onto the publication. This process takes minutes. Nothing more, nothing less. So how the fuck they can charge these fees is a total scam!

 

They are worse than solicitors and that is a hard act to beat.

Some GP surgeries are up there with solicitors. Extortionate fees for signing fit notes or passport applications sometimes.

 

We often write out to GPs when we have staff with above average sickness records to see if there are any underlying medical conditions that we need to take into consideration. Often get charged over £100 for a half page letter that says 'No, not that I'm aware of'.

Is being Scouse now classed as an industry?

Solicitors full stop. They must have some kind of arrangement of a minimum hourly charge that any of them will offer.
