I have said this before. I don't understand why vendors take full payments when the product is not ready to ship. A deposit would be appropriate. That just irks me. Bad business practice.
I agree .

This is an appropriate policy when the merchandise is already in stock, but I have never seen a vendor selling made-to-order merchandise that didn't make the customer pay up-front. The reason for the pay-first policy is so that the vendor is not stuck with an expensive, custom made piece of equipment if the customer changes his/her mind. Made-to-order is almost always pre-pay.
