Okay, so if they don't pay, they should go to prison for theft. The consignee is the one that the theft is perpetrated upon. To simply have them go through the court system to get their money back is preposterous. If I go to a casino and they offer me credit, and decide I don't want to pay, I go to jail. They don't simply keep asking me for the money I owe them.
