That's on par with what HISS does with Bravo...your scenario #2. And I have a good feeling that is how all LARGE orders will be handled from here on out. I mean, an order for 500...a thousand units...for one customer...is basically a "custom" order at this stage of the game...so, I agree Wayne. I wouldn't place a quarter to half-million dollar order (HISS ordering from Arcom) or accept it (as a large manufacturer, i.e. Arcom) without being paid up front.

I always ran my business, 50% up front, and 50% upon delivery...for the high ticket services. That's exactly how the office is handling this type of situation. Standard business. However, that does nothing to help us with the small orders...where we need to be able to ship out 5 or 10 CTs for customer receipt in 3-7 business days. That is where inventory is necessary, and that is where the problem is, and that is why all of us are suffering every day.

*Financing

*Large orders paid up front

*Buyout by another company willing to stick their neck out with our history.

*Merger

Those are the four, and only four options for HISS. Scenario #2....a HUGE order paid up front...is what I would like to see...but on the scale I'm talking about....it has never happened for us (yet). It ain't pretty right now and it could go either way for us. So here we be.
