Up-charge on add-ons after the PO has been placed

Question

I have placed my order at Chalet rv 1 month ago and 2 weeks after, I realized that a back up camera would be a nice Christmas present for me. Send a email no problem. Well I just received the new invoice and on top of the $595.00 for the camera an other $100.00!! Chalet RV charged me an $100.00 up-charge for add-ons because the PO has allready been placed! Any body have ever experience that? Thanks Steve

NO!  And $595 is way too much for a rear view camera.

That seems pretty common in the business world. When we built our house, after the fact, a door on a coat closet in the back hallway, cost $500. They were still in the framing stages.

Price sounds about right, mine was $574,for wireless, color, plus night vision camera with an 8" screen and was mounted on the top rear of the camper.
As far as the other charge, I added a lot of option as my camper was being built and there was no extra charges.

I agree. Most change orders placed by a customer will require some unplanned action by the builder. Change order charges typically is to off set a real cost to the company. Some will eat it and some will expect you to eat it.

As was posted this is a common and accepted practice. I noticed McDonald's will just trash it to make one happy sometimes. :)
