| Jul 16, 2014 at 22:05 | comment | added | Scott | @DA01 I'd indicate delivery time as a factor in the quote - Delivery 14 days $xx - but I wouldn't call it "rush" in anyway. This indicates that delivery time is a factor, but it avoids any connotation of "rush fee". "Rush fee" simply tells a client "Oh, you'll do it for less, you're only charging me more because I have a deadline." And they argue it every single time in my experience. | |

| Jul 16, 2014 at 21:47 | comment | added | Scott | @DA01 I wouldn't argue that one bit. But I've run into many clients who may. All I was saying is I build in such fees, I don't indicate it's a "rush" for the quote. | |
