So my father is a jeweler for one of these e-commerce jewelry brands and they have refused to pay the bulk of their invoices for the past year. Unfortunately they never established contracts on either team and we don’t know what to do.
I have thought about going to TikTok about it or something but my father is waiting on a lawyer to give more insight on what can and can’t be said. The invoices total more than 100k and they’re sinking.
My father came here from Ecuador when he was in his 20’s, he’s gone out of his way for us to get educations and made sure we lived comfortably. That meant he stayed late nights making sure this companies orders were done for Christmas or anything they wanted. And now he is stuck, can’t pay for rent, can’t for for employees and can’t pay for material necessary. Meanwhile they are thriving their company was bought this past year, they’re posting sales and some of the biggest celebrities are wearing their pieces.
We started a website for his business to hopefully get sales directly but it has been slow and ads are too expensive to continuously run. I don’t know if this is the right sub but I wanted to vent and put this somewhere and see if anyone has any insight.
