Ventilation

When we first started out a few months ago we were ecstatic that someone was interested in stocking some of our work so quickly. It turned out to be more hassle than it was worth.

We submitted our work to a store called Libertine in Mt Lawley, Perth and the owners bought two of our shirts in the first week of October. She bought one of our men's shirts and cut it in to something more flattering for a woman.

We were supposed to get paid in the second week of November. It's now December and it still hasn't happened and they 'claim' that they were 'orders' so the transaction went through later.

The shirt that the owner cut up was right off the shelf so it defiantly wasn't an order and the other one, while it was a special order.. we still gave it to her in October. Transaction OVER. We should still get paid in November. Not still be waiting for it in December.

THEN they claimed that we didn't give them our payment details WHICH WE DID. We came down specifically to do it one day.

And the last straw was when we came down to pick up our stuff and they didn't have it ready for us even though we had emailed them about it in advance and had to sit around waiting when we we're supposed to be visiting family we don't get to see often.

The moral of the story is: never work on consignment and never deal with Libertine.

GRRRR.
