Man, estimating timelines for panel upgrades has been a nightmare lately. I've got three jobs lined up for QO load centers, but waiting on Eaton parts is killing me - one customer's already calling every day asking when I'll start. We're in Texas so permits take forever anyway, adding at least a week to everything. I usually pad my quotes with two extra days for surprises like this, but it's starting to look bad when things drag out. Anyone got tips on how to communicate these delays without losing the job? Been doing this 10 years and still hate the waiting game.

yeah, i feel that - had a similar mess with a 200A service upgrade last month, sat on the job site for five days straight waiting for the meter base.
