Three times recently I have asked, in one case a plumber and in the other two builders, to quote for jobs in my house. They have appeared to be keen to do the work but their quotes never materialise.
Two weeks ago I asked 2 upholsterers for quotes. One got back to me within a day, the other yesterday. The second quote was cheaper but I had already accepted the other as I thought that I had once again been let down.
Is this common? I live in an area where most people are comfortably off, so I assume that there is plenty of work.
In future I have decided to just say, 'Do you actually want this job?' AIBU?

AIBU?
if you are a tradesperson and you are asked to quote for a job and you don't want the job you should say so.
