What is a reasonable deposit?
In article . com,
wrote:
A company I want to use to supply a set of windows for my new home (we
will install them) wants 50% deposit with the order. Is this excessive
(and risky) for normal purchases of this type?
The other 50% is payable on delivery
Forget that. I'd not pay the rest until after installation - and want a
buffer period to make sure there are no snags.
As regards a deposit, what safeguards are there against that deposit being
lost if the company goes broke?
