    I’ve never done, and I’ve regretted it some many times…

    I was just telling people to drop ship parts. If they asked me to send them a link and I already knew what the part was and where I would get it, I wouldn’t charge. That was 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time was thinking I knew, but then finding out that I didn’t.

    I started doing this a few years ago after realizing what a time suck it could be. I prefer to order parts for customers especially on complicated wiring harnesses and partscaster builds. There’s always that guy who comes in and says, “I’m supplying EVERYTHING you need, you just have to put it together, bro!” They almost always order the wrong stuff, especially bridges, tuners, pots and knobs. If I spend more than 30 minutes, researching, sourcing and ordering parts, I charge an hour of labor.
