What would you think if someone contacted you wanting to sell you fish. He tells you what the amount for the fish and delivery to your pond would be. He then states his preferred date of delivery and you agree. The day of delivery comes and you wait around and no one shows. That evening he calls and says he'd like to deliver the next day but you would have to meet him part way and he now wants twice as much for delivery.

If he wants a sale he should go by the agreed upon prices.

I think I'd be looking for a different fish supplier.

My first action would be to remind him of his earlier verbal committment, and ask kindly if he'd like to fulfill his promise.
My second action, if I didn't get an appropriate response to the first action would be to thank him for the opportunity to use his name on the world's largest pond management forum.

I'd can him and look elsewhere. However, I won't by another GM vehicle based on a lemon I got in 1987, so take my advice under caution.

I would cancel the order and look elsewhere. If you push him its no telling what fish you will get.

All good suggestions, but I would do what Ewest said.
Just do it...

Can him. I'd be too afraid of 1) not getting the correct fish, correct amount, or 2) have him turn around and go the other way after he got your $$.

To me the money isn't as big of deal as the fact that he picked the delivery date and then doesn't show and just leaves you waiting.
