Well your business won’t last long. You would not worry whether said supplier could actually deliver the next shipment or if the quality would continue to be the same right? - furthermore you would not even begin to suspect that maybe the stuff you received in the latest shipments may not be up to scratch- because lets get real, businesses don’t go under in a few days- they normally slowly degrade financially accompanied with cost-cutting measures Yes my friend just send cash ahead to chay or whoever to pay for 500 more pairs to show your confidence After that I will send you a picture of a nice big bridge which is for sale, and you just need to send cash upfront to a certain PO box

You seem to infer a lot from what was said in previous posts. I don't believe anyone on this thread actually owns a
shoe business. So, it is as individuals that we comment. I do have a question for you: Have you purchased any Alfred Sargent shoes recently? Whatever your answer, it should be for customers to "judge" the potential lack of quality that you suggest will happen. If you did a bit of reading around, you will have found that AS have face adversity before and ALL of the shoes on this thread have been made after that difficult time. I urge you to read some of the comments on this thread to get some idea of the "decline in quality". As for calling out someone's name simply because people have commented on his excellent customer service is childish. Perhaps you may "expect" everyone to treat their customers like Chay does. Let me assure you that Chay is unique in his outlook and professionalism. If you want to assume the people here are stupid because they have received the shoes that they've asked for and are happy with the service they've received, it's a matter for you. I doubt that you'll receive anything but distain on this thread. So, if you have facts that can be qualified about the things you suggest are/will happen, please share. If you don't, I suggest that you find another thread to comment upon and leave this one for the Alfred Sargent "Fools" (or stoodges) to comment on. Clint
