getting paid for translation

by A.Vazquez

I have a friend who sends me documents on behalf of her clients. Upon my request, she does not give them the translated doc until she receives a money order or cashier's check from her client. Then she mails it to me. Of course, we have known each other for years and I trust her.

Otherwise, I would charge an initial 50% downpayment for the service. The rest would be due after delivery. If it's a local delivery, it would be COD.
