<p>i have no limit on amount of guitars brought in to a point. there used to be a school district that would bring all 50-60 classical instruments in at a time. when that happened, we got really strict about "instruments left over 30 days"clause on our repair tags.i do have a few customers that will bring 4-5 instruments everytime, but most only bring one at a time.</p>

<p>Hi, having been ripped off many years ago I do give some thought to this, and make judgments according to the customer and their location and my workload.</p>
<p>A couple of things come to mind. If the customer pays at the completion of all the jobs, that could be a long wait for payment of the first job. What if the combined cost of all work is out of the customer's reach, drama, this happened to me.</p>

<p>And, as in this photo, I drive 130km to pick up some guitar repairs and I get ten cello's from the same customer. That caused a storage issue, Haha.</p>

<p>Interesting subject. I also have folks who like to bring 2, 3 or 4 instruments at once. Maybe one of the reasons is that I live/work fairly remotely, which makes for a "planned half day" for most customers who don't live close... so bringing more than one makes sense for them. </p>
<p>There's a fair am't of room here, so storage isn't much of an issue, but it's bench space that's at a premium. I let the customer know that it's generally "first come-first served" and they're in the cue…</p>

I let the customer know that it's generally "first come-first served" and they're in the cue unless it's something small that can be knocked-out while someone else's glue is setting-up, etc. </p>
<p>Most folks are pretty understanding about the time factor, and I try to "overestimate" the needed time in front, so it's usually a pleasant surprise when repairs are done under that. </p>
<p>It's the customers choice to pick up repaired instruments one-at-a-time, or wait until the group's ready. If they're in no great hurry and have traveled some distance, they'll normally get them at one time.</p>
<p>Insurance? Ummm, yeah... I've got some homework and figuring to do there.</p> This question brings up two v…tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2021-08-08:2177249:Comment:2805982021-08-08T17:54:28.919ZCal Maierhttps://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/CalMaier892
<p>This question brings up two very important issues as far as repair shops go. <br/>1. Space……how much room do you have to store instruments on your premises?</p>
<p>2. Liability….do you have the insurance needed to cover all of your customers goods in case of a catastrophy?</p>
<p>Just a couple of thoughts on this issue. </p>
