how long do you give?
you reach out to a vendor and they don't reply.
being that it's vacation time, how long do you give a small business owner to reply before moving on to finding someone else?

Had someone contact me about a service I need, last Thursday - I missed his call and called back Friday. Didn't hear from him again so contacted someone else today (figured I'd give him a pass for the weekend, but expected to hear back from him yesterday)

Re: how long do you give?
In 2019, when there is so much technology, with cell phones, call forwarding, ability to have one number call a dozen different phones, etc, etc. There is no reason that a vendor can't return your call within a few hours.
Even if their answer is "Sorry, I'm on vacation until X, can I call you back on Monday". At least you should get some type of response.

Exactly. After not hearing from the first guy, I contacted 4 more yesterday and they all got back to me (by text) within a few minutes. I was able to hire someone for what I need within an hour of my calls
