It doesn't seem to be a new thing. I've had numerous moving van guys ghost me over the years - sometimes they would just not answer the phone in the days before the move and I would have to get someone else - once the delivery guys were find right up til the day of the move and then just didn't turn up or answer their phone. When I was trying to get my flat painted a couple years ago I got a few guys in for quotes - a few of them just came and looked around and said they'd email or call me with a quote and then never did and never answered follow up messages from me. Don't know why they bother to advertise if they don't want work. |
