Agreed. After the EA debacle I will never front full payment for an implement and wait months. Just glad I was able to get my implements from EA a few years ago.The subject of payment in advance comes up a lot, with some very different perspectives and opinions. For general contractor type work I expect 10% to start, several material draws, then a final payment. My last work I had done was very similar, 10%, 40, 40, 10.
Of note, other than the 10% to start, all other payments are being made while work is in progress or completed. Paying for an implement up front with a 4-6 month lead time is a whole 'nother thing.
