Dealing with some suppliers:

Me: Can you give we a rough idea of what it would cost to get this delivered and installed.
Supplier: Give me all the details, and I'll do you up a quote.
Me: Fine, this is where we need it delivered, we're 1000km by road, we'll provide all you meals, accommodation, and fuel onsite. Never dealt with this before so have no idea of your costs, just need to know if its a $10k job or a $50k job? Cos at $50k we're not interested.
Supplier: Sure, give me a tonne more details, and I'll do you a detailed quote.

A week later, after providing a string or irrelevant information, we finally get a 20 page proposal, with installation cost of over $75k.
Supplier then goes ape**** when we turn then down.

Another supplier, similar story.
Me: Can you tell me what you have in stock in the way or 3~5 tonne crane bins.
Sup: Goes into great spiel about how many model and options they offer.
Me: Yeah, that's great but I need to know what you have NOW, so I can get them to site before the next major shut.
Sup: Tell me what you want and I'll give you a detailed quote.
Me: Ok, we need 10 of your model 5D.
Sup: 2 days later get a quote, with a 7 week lead time. "Oh yeah, the D model has to be special ordered from China, then we have to add the lifting lugs, but I can do ya 5B's if you don't want to wait that long?"
Me: Ok, we'll have 10 of those.
Sup: Next day sends through another quote, still with massive lead time.
Me: WTAF?
Sup: "We only have 6 in stock"

Or hows this one:
Me: Got a weird request, we need some safety or danger tape (you know what I mean?) but it has to be purple. It could even be purple & white.
Sup: Sure, I know exactly what you want, I'll see if we can find it in purple. How much do you need?
Me: Better make it a few hundred metres.
Sup: Sends through a quote for duct-tape!
