you wanna know what's jacked up?

This morning, I finished up artwork for 5 big banners for a CHURCH. When I told them I need payment upon delivery of the CD they said "ohhh boy, I don't think so. Our payroll lady is...blah blah blah blah blah"

WTF!? We made an aggreement 3 weeks ago, and arranged today's meeting 4 days ago!

moral of the story: get paid before you deliver the artwork. No exceptions. Regardless of the client.

1/3 up front, 1/3 miday through, 1/3 on delivery.

No final payment, no delivery.

PERIOD.

Yeah. What U23 said.

damn right. gguy, that's the standard style of payment in the business.

Actually I always go for 1/2 up front, last 1/2 when I'm done, then you get it.

Yeah, I normally go 1/2 up front and then 1/2 later, unless the client offers to pay me all up front, cant argue with that :p

1/2 and 1/2 for me as well. works out nicely if project falls through.

I was going to say gasoline prices.
