Client: Hi there, we worked together I few months ago and loved what you created for us! We have another job and would like to see if you are available?

Me (1h later): Sure! Let me know more details about this new project.

Client (15min later): Oh, sorry, since you took so long to respond, we've decided to choose another freelancer. Thank you anyways!!

    I have to sin, I did the same as a client before, just not with same freelancers (thats retarded), sometimes a job is really an on demand thing and I search for somebody who can do it in the next hour, if its already taking 15/30 minutes to respond, then I already copy pasted it to 50 other people, that can do it immediately.

    Though thats fiverr too, not upwork, which makes it even more odd how you got treated.

    Can't really blame him/her. You snooze you lose.

    As a freelancer, a 1H turn around time is more than reasonable. I could be in a billable hour right now working on the clock...

    If you need a reply that fast/soon, say so when you send the initial message!

    Or, at least say it's time sensitive if it is... that's just common courtesy. I feel your pain @nanl
