That is exactly why they matter, because it is being claimed that the designs are not up to the designer?s usual standard. As for bearing the cost anyway I think that's a rather poor way to run a business... ?Oh thanks for the shit design and here's your $500? - Don't make me laugh

Designs are subjective, however time is not.
Based on your theory, I should just hire out 10 design teams with the intention of paying one of them for the final services.
Paying for a design that you feel is sub-par is a cost of doing business. Affiliate programs do it all the time. I have done it. It is life. If the design is devoid of the basic concept, you may have an argument, but I doubt highly a design team such as BDS would not follow the basic instructions or save jpg files as gif.
I eat out a lot. Sometimes, the food is not that great. When the bill comes, I pay it. I pay it every time. My class is more important than my restaurant experience. I also tip 20 percent, as a starting point.
I have a personal perception of what is a professional business procedure in concern with my own projects, as well as Weg projects. I pay for services every time. I pay my bills. My reputation is unblemished in that regard. I intend it to remain such, as it is important to me as a person, businessman and company publicist / marketing director.
I have sent more than a few wires to BDS. I have contacts all over this industry that go out of there way to help me.
I am not trying to start a fight, nor am I playing towards friends. Just voicing my opinion on it.
I could care less about this issue. At the end of the day, Andrew needs to enjoy his weekend and move on. He needs to write off the time as a "cost of doing business." Two way street on how these things work, however, I doubt I am telling him anything he does not know.
