    Backing out of a Merbella...unthinkable! I certainly hope she has a kill fee built into her tail contracts!

    Still at $5,000. 18 hours to go. The last few minutes could get interesting.

    Yes! This has happened to Raven too many times There need to be repercussions if someone pulls out of an order. Especially one that's rush or has custom sculpting work.

    Not to have at least a fifty percent kill fee and non-refundable deposit in place for a bespoke item like a performance qualify full silicone tail is not a good business decision. You have to have your materials costs covered at the very least before one lick of work even begins! Graphic design, tailored suits, wedding dresses, web sites... there's no reason custom mermaid tails shouldn't be included in that business model.

    Why would anyone even want to back out? Before spending money on a tail a lot of thought should be put into it and I don't see how after planning out a design and paying for it (especially with a rush fee) that someone could just say oh never mind forget all of that hard work you put into it I changed my mind I'd like a refund. That irks me.

    Maybe something really unfortunate happened to someone and they have to pay hospital bills. :-/
    I don't think they pulled out because they didn't want the tail, I'm sure they were excited to get a spot in line and are heart broken they cant fully pay for the tail anymore.

    I feel like no refund should be given at all. I didn't even realise she gave refunds if you changed your mind. You pay in full for your tail before it starts, if you decide you don't want it at the end, that's cool but you're not getting you're money back. Maybe a little brutal but it's about as much as they deserve. I understand that some people do undergo certain circumstances but if you may not have the money to get yourself out of trouble then you shouldn't be spending it on a tail.

    Or go for, half now and the rest after its done. Cos I'm guessing all those materials to create a tail isn't cheap. At least she would get some money out of it even if the customer didn't pay up.

    @Ariel Starfish- I didn't send it out to Raven because it would cost about as much as the tail did to ship it back and forth. I sent her an email explaining the damage but never got a reply so I looked through the forum/Internet about how to patch it up and did it myself. Right now I'm focusing on practicing with a monofin I got for Christmas though so I can swim in the tail correctly.

    congrats! I know you'll be happy with it. She told me it's a 1 of a kind tail she'll never make another like it. it's exclusive!

    Raven is pretty awesome. I'm excited to pick it up hopefully next week, weather permitting!
