    Now That's a Good Deal!

    Just ordered another Freedom Kilt. Got the cotton poly Dress Model in maroon.

    As I'm giving Steve the numbers to my plastic he tells me that he won't charge my credit card until he cuts the fabric for my kilt.

    Now that's a good deal!

    Know the kiltmaking business' offer new challenges to understanding advance payment, and different types of kiltmakers have to have different financial arrangements....but it sure takes some agony out of the jonesing process to know that Steve doesn't ring up the sale until he's ready to cut.

    A nice perk for this buyer.

    That is awesome!

    I understand small businesses have upfront expenses and I don't have a real issue with being charged at the time of order. But that is a really great way to generate orders upfront while allowing the customer about another two months to continue to "raise" the money to pay for the kilt. Almost like layaway
