By no means am I trying to say that Mastro was in the right when it shipped items before being paid.
I'm not. All I'm saying is comments like the ones below, which demonize the very practice of shipping before receiving payment, are pretty comical when in fact another auction company is praised for having great customer service for doing the same thing.
"The glaring omission from this article and from everyone's replies, is the fact that the consignments were sent out before they were paid for."
"I was going to bring that up in one of my posts, but was not certain that was the case, but apparently after rereading everything here, it certainly is. What a way to run a business!!"
"How crazy is it that the items were sent prior to payment being received...who does such a thing?"
