I always have a difficult time collecting money for merchandise sold in this store. I have been very cooperative with Stackhouse and even at times agreed to take merchandise as payment. What is troubling though, is that Tara Everston would give me merchandise at retail price and not wholesale price. So she in essence makes money off of my merchandise and then the merchandise she's giving me for payment.
The last time I delivered merchandise was in December and I'm still trying to collect payment. I have gone back repeatedly to the Brooklyn location and she is never there. I have even gone to their Manhattan location where my merchandise was also sold and one of the sales associates stated that all my merchandise sold out. I waited around for 3 hours and Tara Everston never showed up. I have sent repeated emails, left notes and she has not responded. I cannot call because their phone is disconnected at the Brooklyn location (for months) and she is never available at the Manhattan location.
After discussing this issue with a few fellow designers, they said that she has a reputation for "stiffing" independent designers.
