No. That's standard practice for special orders. It's how the company makes sure they're not wasting their time on something you order, then when they call you 2 weeks later, you say "I changed my mind." It's only illegal if they have no intention of getting the item. |
I was going to say the same thing, forgot somehow. I've gone through a similar thing with custom made car parts. If a guy is doing a small run of something that's very specialized, there's no way he's going to produce them and put his money on the line without there being some guarantee that people are going to buy them. Just how it is. Sometimes it's a deposit, sometimes the full amount. Either way, I still don't see how it's illegal.
