New Policy

It is funny that sometimes things come your way for a reason. At least that is how I see it. I have an account that ordered from me at a show, they insisted that they pay COD for the product. I have only had maybe 3 out of 70 accounts ask for COD so I said OK. Big mistake, and BIG lesson. Sending COD is not such a great idea. The company can refuse the order and it has now been in transit over a week. In this case they came up with every single excuse possible not to accept the package- "no note was ever left, we can't go pick it up, I don't think they will give it to me at the post office blah, blah, blah." The woman at the post office told me that is wasn't possible that no note was left and said " honey if I was you I would just cut your losses and have it sent back." I took her advice. I will be implementing a no COD policy from now on. Live and Learn.
