Just buy a wire feed welder and do it yourself, then when you are done you still own the welder.... or rent one!

Hi everyone, I would like to have a investigation. How much if ask a welder come to your home and weld a 2" length small metal plate on the attachment you there? Not in China, but the cost for this service in the US.

That's small work for me, less than ten minutes. But not easy for someone doesn't know welding.

The mobile welder we’ve used charges $250, 1/2 hour to 4 hours. Md, between DC and Va

Around here and if I were to something simple like that, I would probably charge an insignificant value just to cover gas, maybe €20 to €40. And I would give you a bag full of whatever excess fruit I have at the time. Lemons, Kiwis, Avocados, Oranges, Apples, etc.

If you were to take the part that needs welding to my shop, I wouldn't even charge. Same goes for a lot more people over here. Even though it's a poor country, people usually help as much as they can, even if that means loosing a bit of money here and there.

I'd probably come over and weld it for free. One person out spreading good about you is worth more than multiplied thousands spent on advertising. Them people that have to get paid for every move they make, tend to not move that much. I see them, waiting on that next big job, five states over. They'll just have to wait, because nobody around here calls on them.

Never been a huge fan of "loss leader" business, since, in my experience, it tends to never do anything but lead to more losses, & if everyone is doing it, it winds up being a race to the bottom. Don't need to get rich on every job, but if it's a "job" vs helping out a friend/neighbor, it needs to cover costs and pay a fair return.

$100 here, $50 for the local call out and one hour minimum. My local guy is very reasonable with his prices. He gets most of my work and I own 2 welders.

Not in China but you there.

Your location says China.
Your text indicate China.

 

[NoTrespassing]

Yep, and he's asking how much welding costs in other locations. (not China)

How much in your area in China would this cost? I'm just curious?

The travel time, the depreciation on equipment, the time spent in school getting the certification....$298....
