I think I am going to cry! Here's the story, I'll try to keep it short. I did a show for a host (who was always difficult to get a hold of) and it turned into a $1000 show. The show was Nov 10 and many people wanted their items by Thanksgiving so the night of the deadline to have orders in by then I was closing the show over the phone with the host. Between her order and a last minure order she owed me $324. She said she would put it in the mail. Last week I still had not heard from her or received her check. When I finally got in touch with her she said she was mailing it that day. A week later still nothing. So, I called twice and left messages. There were a couple of items that were missing in her order that I had shipped to me (because I was worried about non payment) and told her on the messages that I would be a few doors down and could we please make an exchange that evening. No response. I finally emailed her (a month after the show) that I really couldn't wait any longer for the check to arrive in the mail and could I please pick it up. This money was my Christmas spending money and my husband was getting quite upset with me that I had sent the order in before I received the money. Still no response, so Yesterday the check arrived in the mail. I emailed her again that I had received it and I would be happy to bring her items (an hour away). She just called me and said "I just got my nasty email that you sent me that you couldn't wait for your money any longer. I was short items in the order and I think you were very rude. I left your check at work and wasn't in for almost a week because my daughter was in a car accident. And I really want you to come out right now and bring me my items." I apologized for seeming rude, but I didn't know about the car accident and I hoped that she was alright. I would not be able to bring the items until this evening (my son has chicken pox) but I would be happy to drop them off tonight. She said well I think this just about does it for my decission to never do a show with you again and I will be sure to tell everyone what a B***h you have been about it. Again, I apologized, but I really don't feel like I should have. (I am about the least pushy person you could ever meet. I mean how many people would wait for a month for their money) Is there anything I should do at this point to try to rectify the situation? What would you girls or guys have done?
