Also, there are a lot of people who will see this who pay within 30 days and will not want to deal with someone who is not accommodating to their process.

Just an FYI.

I'm astounded at the replies of a lot of people here...

This guy/girl went out of their way, to put off other clients work, and have his/her employees work over time, to meet the rush deadline that DollarMachine wanted, and they decide "Well, we need the stuff NOW!, but we're gonna pay you in 60 days".. Uh... fuck that... I would bitch too...

You can't seriously expect to have a company rush because you weren't timely enough to give the company enough time to do it normally, NOT TO MENTION, because of your rep in the industry, they don't do extra fees, like they normally would... you got special treatment, and then expect them to say ok when you spit in their faces and make them wait an ungodly 60 days for a measly $300 payment, especially when most companies normally go out of their way to pay whales insane amounts WEEKLY due to the volume of sales sent, yet can't pay a designer in a timely fashion?

Whether they want to do business with them again or not, I would have cut off any business dealings with any company owned by them ever again after that...

And personally, if someone decided to not do business with me because of this thread, I would just chalk it up to being more people who expect their shit done in less then 24 hours but feel it's appropriate to take 60 days to pay me... I wouldn't want their business anyway.
