I had shops reduced a couple of times by $1 because I submitted it 15 minutes or so after their 'deadline.'
You know what? The shop was fine. It was submitted to the client and Trendsource was paid in full. So, where did the $1 go? Right into their pockets.
It left a bad taste for me too.
That said, I always liked Trendsource until this EIN crap that they're trying to shove down our throats.
