    I always base deadlines on having everything i need to get started. Basically - hand over the info, i can have it to you in 2 weeks. If you dont hand the info over for 3 weeks, you dont see it for 5.

    If its a rush / last minute / unexpected job then they *know* they are putting you out, and a simple 'my production schedule is already full. I can fit in your work, but it means I have to push someone else so I have a rush rate of $X to account for the shuffling of business, customer service, etc it causes me." If youre good they pay you and usually happily. If not they'll find someone else.

    • But a stall - ie a known deadline on both parties that is weeks away. if they delay, they have to know that it delays u.mantrakid
