For reals? I sell very little on TeePublic…like $5/mo. They overpaid artists back in November and need everyone to pay them back. For me, that’s $.23. If you really need the $.23, I’m not sure you’re going to last as a company.

    I once had to sit down with a suppliers accountant because the billion dollar company I worked for couldn’t figure out why the PO and the invoices on about 50 orders were slightly off.

    Reason: The supplier and billion dollar companies systems used different units of measure. So the conversion created a rounding error as the billion dollar company only went out 4 decimal places This led the the invoices being between $0.01-$0.05 off. All told the difference was $0.01.

    It took us 2 hours and I had to buy the suppliers accountant lunch to get it sorted out.
