Never, ever go into a business relationship with a friend. We were warned about them before we made this deal,but the person who warned us had never been involved in a deal with them and the information was second hand. We should have cheked it out, because we now rue our deal with them.
We are not only left with out much needed funds but there is a deep bitterness in my heart about the whole issue.
What irks me most is I think they realize what a barrel they have us over; we can't possibly fly back to the US and make things right. Meanwhile we are losing money on an item we can't use daily.
Friends should not go into business with friends. One learns too much about the other.

My dad went into business with a "friend" when I was a baby. He ran off with all the cash and my dad had to declare bankruptcy! Nice friend.
