The Admin Fee is getting more and more frequent with providers and it only looks like it’s going to stay. For those that don’t know about Admin Fee, it’s basically a payment you’ll make before initiating any further with the provider. In a nutshell, you’re paying for their time/talking to them. You will not be able to schedule, deposit, or go through any details until that Admin price is paid and usually the price won’t go above $50. Don’t get this payment confused with a deposit, these are two different payments you’ll be making.
This new payment is coming in light of a frequent number of clients initiating booking and paying deposits only to waste the providers time by not seeing them. I don’t know if any clients that go through that much hassle only to completely waste the providers time like that. There are instances when emergencies pop up and clients getting cold feet, but I would assume those are rare occurrences.
Anyway, I’m curious to what you guys think of all of this. Should we have to pay for others mistakes? Pay a fee to just talk to a provider.
In my opinion, I don’t like that we’re paying for others problems. To have to pay to just talk with a provider is a slippery slope that could migrate into additional payments being created throughout the hobby.
