Well, that was my question awhile ago too.

I mean, I don't have a problem sending money before something is made (although I can understand why some people would have a problem with that I guess). Ideally they'd have the product ready to ship once they get our money but, let's face it, with the amount of orders he had (and the custom sized nature of boots), it's a lot to ask to ask a guy to have $5000 sitting there to put into boots, then wait for the orders to come in (and hope they're for the sizes he produced). I know I don't have that kind of scratch laying around.

But, I think back to any run that I've done of anything here, I've asked for the money up front, but, I've always kept it totally separate from any other money of mine, so that if for some reason, things don't go well, I can get the money back to them pretty much at the drop of a hat.

I'll wait, and I'm sure we'll get the money but, agreed, very poor business.
