Members chrisash Posted July 23, 2021 Members Report Posted July 23, 2021 Two weeks is not a long time for them to have meetings, detailed examination of the sample, compare with other products. the bigger the firm the longer management takes to get through all the steps. buyer chief buyer, sales team, management and so on Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me

If they will/cannot, then they are a RIPOFF!!! Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members Viles Posted September 4, 2021 Members Report Posted September 4, 2021 Did they get back with you? For sure send them an invoice for the item. At the least they may send it back in the mail. They don't sound like their current team knows what are doing. I've done work for winners of Shark Tank and also private branded labels for companies like the Sportsmans Guide, neither asked for a non-compete. Sending samples is always a risk. Only the better companies with pay for samples or give them back. The worse thing that has happened to me was the sample was taken and then given to another company to reproduce by a South African company. Six weeks is normal when buyers are considering new items or manuf. I hope something positive and great came from all this. Quote

Members hashtagartz Posted September 4, 2021 Members Report Posted September 4, 2021 Would you continue on with them at this point if they wanted to do business? Quote
Members Alexis1234 Posted October 18, 2021 Author Members Report Posted October 18, 2021 Final Update: Despite the delayed shipment and extremely poor communication from the company, I had a family attorney take a look at the contract. Based on the contract, company would have had design rights to anything and everything that was coming out of my shop- even if it wasn't equine related and also to any customer info. I would have been getting paid by the hour, not by the job, which was not the way it was supposed to be.. It was a totally one sided contract . I decided not to pursue any further communications with this company. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted October 18, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted October 18, 2021 Advice from a good attorney (we call them solicitors here) is worth the money they charge. That one has saved you a lot of money, grief and hassle down the road Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Have your family attorney amend the contract they want you to sign. to your specifications Then send it back to them. you never know, they might like your attitude and agree.
