What Should I Do with an Unpaid Order from a Flaky Customer?

[linojackie]

I had enough orders to submit a show and I offered to order the host special for my friend/neighbor/customer/fellow DS consultant. Well, the order has been delivered, and she still hasn't paid for it. I don't have the extra $60 in my account, and PC is about to debit my card. I know it was not wise to order without payment, but I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. Now what do I do? I can't sell it on C.S, can I?

I would call your friend and tell her that you spotted her the money and now it is going to come out of your account so you need the money. If she is a friend then she will understand.

This happened to me once and therefore vowed I would never spot anyone the money for this reason.

Good Luck Jackie!

Or send it back and have them refund your debit card. tell your friend if she can't pay you now it will have to go back.

I agree with Nancy if she can't pay send it back.

Send it back to get your money back. Make you have enough in your account in the meantime to cover it so you don't overdraft!

The only problem is, the $60 isn't in there, so my bank will probably pay it, but theyll charge me $33 when they do.

Grrrr...I would call her and tell her you need the money or else your account will bounce!

Tried to call and her cell is disconnected. She also ordered a plate caddy which she did pay for. She's not getting it until the skillet is paid for too.

If she is your neighbor, why don't you go over there without the pan and ask her if she still wants it? If she doesn't have the money, tell her you don't either, so you have to send it back.
