I'm dumbfounded whenever I read a story about customers who fail to respond to a maker's notification of a completed order. Most certainly things happen and I can understand that a select few just might not be able to pay or get in contact for one reason or another, but to just avoid the maker completely? I don't get that one at all. No honor in it.
I've always just put the money aside when I placed the order. Sometimes that meant that I had a hundred dollar bill or two just sitting in an envelope while I've gone without, but it helped ensure that I had the funds when word came down that my knife was ready. How could I have expected a maker to meet his end of the bargain if I hadn't taken the steps to ensure that I could meet mine?
Ten days for payment seems quite reasonable though I fear that some people might take that to mean it isn't a big deal if they can't pay.
