Now, if they have a history of not paying you, that's another story. But just paying within the time frame they tell you, that's not so bad. Really.


Exactly what DirtyWhiteBoy said here.

I understand the original poster being unhappy about so many sponsor checks getting later or going missing lately. There have been so many stories on the boards about this recently. I am also bummed out by how many sponsors right now are slow-paying or no-paying. I am annoyed by the ridiculous excuses some of one or two of them come up with to avoid or put off paying a small tab.

I just don't think that concern applies to this sponsor. It really doesn't freak me out when a sponsor who has paid me for years, in a way which is easy to account for, pays within a plus or minus a week timeframe.

Before the economy tanked, sponsors always paid a day or two late on holiday weeks, so it just is not news.
