Mary- can I call you Mary? Obviously we have false impressions of one another, as you know not one whit about me, nor I you.
Dave can try to sue me all he wants, we live in litigous times. I have never broken my contractor agreement and I do not intend to.
This thread is about Sentry slow-paying. It is in fact a truth of reality that Dave does, indeed, slow-pay, one of the slowest in the industry. And judging by various comments here, my own experience as well as others I know personally, he takes his sweet time, and when people have tried to resolve their issues directly with him- or, rather, ask Dave why it takes so long- his response is to deactivate them. OR.... as he has also said frequently in the forum, that sometimes there are issues with processing checks from his clients. So, he would have us believe that all his clients frequently bounce checks to him, thus causing his issue with slow paying? HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
Dave defends the pay policy advertised on the website as between 30 and 60 days (which, anything beyond 30 days is ridiculous in and of itself), where the reality is that very frequently he pays as long as 70+ days and even up to 90 days after the shop(s) has (have) been completed.
All I know is that when I open my mailbox and I have three separate checks, each in their own separate envelopes and with their own separate postage, what immediately springs to mind is "sloppy accounting; bad business". Couple that with his constant defenses on this forum, where people have already dealt with him directly to no satisfaction (or just complete deacivation as a shopper, because he dislikes their "tone", another consistent theme with Dave), it's little wonder why shoppers come in here to vent.
Wanna know why Dave slow pays? Because his time is better spent trolling this forum and slapping down any form of dissent among the ranks than it is actually taking care of business and making his contractors happy.
Honestly, Dave should change the name of Sentry Marketing to "King Henry VIII Marketing" since he prefers pre-Victorian England where any criticism of the king and his precious throne was rewarded with immediate beheading.
