I totally agree with you Robson, many freelancers out there have no idea how to please customers and keep good business links.

I myself had 2 freelancers seriously letting me down, 1 of them made me wait 2 weeks and then just decided that he didnt have time after all and a few others have either tried to overcharge me or did not do the requested work to good standards.

What I found most frustating and unprofessional was the total lack of communication with me as a client.
Emails were often ignored and no status on work being done.
