I can't go into too much detail or name anyone here but I need some advice please.

I have a business that has ordered cakes through me multiple times. There is always some kind of issue and this last time is the last straw. It's things like multiple phone calls to get paid, last minute order, etc.

This time they tried to argue me down on price, sent me damaged goods and I think they are trying to set me up to ask for a refund. I am very unhappy and no longer want to do business with them.

I tried to give them the number to another bakery but they keep calling me. How do I professionally word an email that is basically saying, "don't call me anymore"?

Thanks for your help.

Just tell them that you believe this relationship is not working for both of you, they don't seem to be happy with your product and you are not able to handle last minute orders and don't have time to chase down payment. If you spread the blame, it sounds nicer or just tell them the truth, relationship is over based on the reasons you just mentioned. good luck

Our relationship is no longer working out for me, and it seems you as well. In the future you will need to purchase your cakes from someone else.

It's as easy as that. The beauty of owning your own business is that you don't have to do business with people you don't want to.

Thank you all for responding. I did email this morning and tell them that perhaps someone else here should service them locally since things were not working out very well.

I often thought of IndyDebi this morning and her advice on how women need to stop trying to be "nice" and be about their business. I always worry that someone will think I am mean or not nice. But, I think I did the right thing this time.

It's the second time I stood up for myself in 3 days, I'm on a roll!!!

Just askin' - Is this a national company with "Cakes" and "America" in their name?

I had to do the same thing recently too. Not becuase I ahd a problem with them , but because I wanted to do less work. It is hard to turn someone away but from time to time, you have to!

I know the company we're talking about and I definitely won't do cakes for them any more. They don't pay.
