in my experience, i get paid up front 100% from my best clients. Some pay me before placing their order.
Those who go around claiming 'never pay a designer up front" just do not work with someone who knows how to communicate, deliver, and meet deadlines.
Anyone who has steady flow of work must take payments up front, i know I do not start on one second of work until at least 50% deposit is made. My schedule is only for the paying customer, I dont start on work when people dick me around for a week trying to get payment. You want work, you pay and I deliver, been doing it this way since day 1.
Now for long time clients, its a different story, but usually my long time clients pay me in 100% in full without question.
When i see these threads I wonder "who are these shadow lurkers these people hire?" because they never name them, just "i tried to hire 6 people from gfy and none answered emails"
anyway, to anyone who needs something done try contacting a very visible and reputable person.
