Several weeks ago I sent a shutter in need of repair to S K Grimes. I was informed by them that my repair had been farmed
out to a second party for the repair . Today they called me and stated , in so many words, cost wise, it was not worth fixing
and my bill was $40.00 for , what they called a bench fee My question is,is this a common practice in the industry? If so
I will suck it up and send them a check It just sounds weird to me I was at one time a gunsmith and never charged a client
for telling him it is not worth fixing
