for all GS vendors and designers

I just want to warn you from sending out any orders to clients trying to order outfits in wholesale/bulk for their business and insisting to make the payments later. Someone backed off after ordering few outfits from me and Alhamdulillah I had not sent them out yet. I dont know whatever the logic anyone would they have but I would just insist on not sending out anything to anyone WITHOUT atleast 50% advance payment. If someone is not comfortable with sending the money to a stranger without a thing in hand then we too are justified for not sending out anything without a penny from them with us-since all of us cannot use paypal to make things easier because of their limitations in regulations here in pakistan, I think asking for atleast 50% advance payment is legit.

P.S. I am not disclosing any names because I dont want to get into a cat-fight or any sort of politics neither do I want to choose to PM vendors individually.

Thanks and have a good day

I dont know whatever the reason she has but I would just insist on not sending out anything to anyone WITHOUT atleast 50% advance payment.

^ it's a good thing you had not sent them out yet but it sounds like you had already made them...

Omg! so sorry to hear that I hope you didn't make all of those 6 as yet otherwise you'd have gone in such a loss. Thanks for the warning I've recieved many such offers but I stick by my rule of starting the outfits only once payment is recieved.

There are lots of unscrupulous people around,and I think you are totally justified in asking for a deposit up front....glad you didn't lose out.

it goes both ways. there are as many unscrupulous venders/suppliers out there. best thing is to have some kinda secure payment mechanism like paypal or an escrow account where the money is held in a trust.
