hjk10157501yAlways a bad sign when relatively small amounts can't get paid timely. Be prepared to walk.

@TheCommoner282 If it's someone I've already worked with I can accept payment at delivery but I usually don't go for that. My go to is a percentile upfront and the rest at delivery.
And no I don't give any grace. Should I ? -
@TheCommoner282 will definitely look into it. Idk if it's something I could work with as of now but it's good to know, thanks.

Oh Lord give me the strength and the brainpower to step a way from freelancing or at least overcome the humongous pile of shite tied to the aforementioned barely lucrative activity.
AMEN !!
Recently got a client. We had an agreement on requirements, deadlines and on pricing. It's a job that can be done in a week if all the resources are at hand.
He reaches back a couple of days later and says :
Him: Listen I am on an intermediate...
Me: Mmhmm.
Him: I had a talk with the actual owner and he can only pay you in June.
Me: I see, but that I can't do. That means if the website is live by the 15th I'll have to wait for 2 weeks at least before getting paid.
You'll have to come up with something that makes more sense.
fml.
