A Must Read: I think designers who outsource should have a disclaimer about that...

I recently ordered a very small and simple order (2 gallery templates) with one of the industy's leading design companies...

Gave him (the guy who's ICQ is on the website) full details of what I needed...

He told me he needed to be paid first, I paid him...
That was about Tuesday/Wednesday

It's now early Monday morning..
and I have yet to even see any of the work
I'm not even mad or frustrated that it isn't completed yet..

but more so about the fact that I haven't even seen ANYTHING, so I don't know if it's going to be what I asked for...

Not even a rough draft of some sort

I ask him whats with the delays on such a small order

He tells me that the guy he outsources his gallery template work to is having computer problems....

And that he'll give the work to "another guy"

WTF?

I thought you were the designer...

From now on...
I'm only choosing to work with THE ACTUAL DESIGNERS...
for this type of reason....

It's such a VERY SMALL ORDER..
yet it still hasn't even been worked on so that I can see some sort of a preview

I think designers companies should say upfront...
"We outsource work" for certain services.....

and let customers know that they will be dealing with design middle men in certain situations...

just a little frustrated about this...
hopefully I'll get some form of contact with my designer or his "guy" very soon...

What the hell is going on now a days?
