Provide extra 24 hours when a buyer requests modification


Recommended Posts

It just happened to me that one of my buyers has requested to modify my work with some added content that was not specified before. While i have no problem carrying out the modification, the soonest i can start working is after the deadline is already lapsed.

I suggest that when a buyer requests modification of the delivered work, the deadline should be incremented by 24 hours so that we have time to actually carry out the modification.

If I deliver with less than a day left and I anticipate the client wanting changes to be made, I tell them to send me an inbox message instead of requesting modification, explaining that time will run out before I’m able to make any changes. I still do what they ask and the order won’t be marked as late 🙂

Good suggestion. Yes please! That will help a lot! 🙂

I had once this experience. Waking up in the morning to see a gig marked as LATE at the other side of the ocean. And the funny thing was that the buyer was new on Fiverr and had clicked that button accidentally instead of sending a message 😃

Luckily customer support saved us!

Reply to @kjblynx: I did this recently, but still had an issue. Or maybe it was just a glitch.

I set my modification extra to add 1 day, but when the customer selected the extra the order was immediately marked “late”. I think it’s because it was over two days after I delivered the artwork and what would have been the normal deadline that they selected it. So I’m guessing the system added the 24 hours, but it was retroactive to the original deadline. Therefore those 24 hours already came and went, so I was still late in delivering. I think it should add the extra time to whenever they choose the extra, even if it’s right close to the 72 hours “auto-close” window. Again, maybe this is how it DOES work, and I just encountered a unique bug.
