Should I bill a sponsor for my inconvenience when...
 

I've had to spend all kinds of energy and deal with all kinds of headaches due to late check issues... twice.. The first one taking 3 months to resolve.. the second one 2 months (concurrent to first) and the third over a month??

Every step of the way each time I was 100% patient, understanding, whatever else while hearing "haven't heard from this department" or "check on it will know X day" type of things..


Is it just another CODB in time spent, or, should I bill them?

I'm pretty fucking pissed about it and it's NOT EASY to make me mad

find another sponsor

Fool me one shame on you, fool me twice and you're not gonna fool me again - GWB

You get the idea, enough time has been wasted and if you can't collect on an affiliate payment what makes you think you'll see anything for your time.

Find someone else to send your traffic to and move on.

Nobody is going to pay you for your time chasing down your $50 min. cheque.

I definitely won't work with them again.. but it sucks, because I thought it was such a great business relationship with the "most solid sponsor in existance". To me, that is what they were, and in fact I do still feel that way about them in spite of this. I never doubted that I would ultimately get my money (even though I am the most paranoid untrusting person ever to live).

Fuck it though - you're right.

You have me there.. it was an XXX.XX check all three times
And I did appreciate them spending time looking into it for me

It's just, fuck, now I finally got the check after waiting a month and there "may be a stop payment on it" and it "may have been re-issued".... (it's this left hand never knows who the right hand is jerking off kind of a thing) so the guy I go through to cash it might get stuck the money, so then I look bad..

I mean sure if that happens I can go and give him the new one IF IT EVER COMES but that is another 1hr drive and he'll also want $30 bank fee out of me.

Not to mention earlier this month I had to drive an hour away and pawn shit to go and take food to my grandmother because of this shit in the first place.. For fuck sakes

They have read your posts and are betting you are going to drive your car into a tree, get arrested, go to rehab, or murdered by your nutty girlfriend so they are holding back payments hoping they will be off the hook. Just a guess.

j/k, I hope you are not angry with me :)

get a job.

Fire them.

And a bank account.

and a life +1

how many sales do you send the sponsor?
in the past when mistakes have been made i have gotten my webmasters compensated by various sponsors

Call them out right now in this thread. Fuck 'em.

Nah
If it were a larger dollar amount I would - for the good of everyone - but I ain't that kind of business board drama asshole
