Today I had a metting arranged with a local ish company , about 40 miles from me to discuss working on a website for me.

I made contact with the guy from a business forum and it took a few days for him to reply to my mails but eventually he did respond and I liked what he had to say.

I then tried for next 4 days calling his business number and mobile and it rang out each time, I didnt leave any messages for him to call me. fair enough I imagined he was probably a one man business trying to appear bigger from his web site details, I can live with that as Im hoping my site will do the same image for me.

He did call me back and apologised said he had been rolling out two new sites and was with clients all day.

Anyway at the start of this week we arrange a meeting at my place for 2.30 today, kinda planed my day around this meet, prepared a few simple bits for it, 2.40 / 3.00 / 3.2o pm comes and goes, I call his mobile, WTF are you ?

I then get a text back saying he is overrunning a meeting and will call me later, its now 5.20.

My thoughts are now if he does call to shove it ! should I be giving him another chance, dont wanna spite myself just to be awkard but im not happy.

It was not this business forum, it was one that was mentioned on a post from here, Your all right there are loads doing it but I do like to keep business local if poss so I can meet in person and so on, wouldnt really want to try and sort a website just over the phone and email and frankly speaking the budget would not interest anybody enough to start travelling many miles for the business.
