Advice: How Long is to Long?

[missiekruger.livejournal.com]

I ordered three commissions last year on December 16th totaling 25 dollars. I have emailed the artists a few times and the first update I got was a sketch of two out of the three commissions. This didn't arrive until April 14th. She had some drama in her own life, so I let it slid. Since than, she has been posting nothing but the occasional personal piece and has not responded to my emails at all. She has posted that she is going on a hiatus and that she will answer emails when she gets back...am I just being to picky? I know art can take a while...but she hasn't posted a que other than a single post that stated 13/30. I was just curious is anyone had any advice...

Taking someone's money, not giving them anything for it, and not even communicating is NOT what a 'nice' person does.

Being 'nice' does not excuse bad business practices. There's no reason for you to feel bad about saying you didn't get what you paid for. She messed up, not you. It's on her that she hasn't followed through with her obligations. Definitely give her one last chance, but if she doesn't respond, please post a beware so others can be informed about her.

Oh, I know it doesn't excuse it...I just wish it hadn't come down to it. ):

Yeah, it's never fun when it gets to this point, but sometimes it needs to be done. Hope she pulls through this time.
