Pete Draper,

Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

I've never heard of charging more. I don't think it's much extra work either. Main extra work is in manipulating all that extra nylon.

We make the extra money off repairs. Tandem rigs get used hard and put away wet, and they always need some sort of sewn repair.
A full inspection on a tandem main and reserve takes me most of a day and I charge accordingly.

I charge by size for reserve repacks in central america:

Q300 - if 150 square feet or less
Q350 - if 150- 210 square feet
Q400 - if over 210 square feet
Q450 - Tandem

At 7.5Q to the dollar that's $60 for a tandem - used to charge $50 for a sport rig and $70 for a tandem in the states. With the total time difference between inspecting and packing a sub 150 reserve and a tandem reserve the tandem rig owners are getting off easy.
