I have problems like this everyday. I head the email "URGENT,shipment on hold" That gets their attention. I have clients that have meetings overseas, wait until 4 days before they leave and then want me to make the signs and ship to arrive for their meetings. 4 Signs cost $160.00, shipping overnight to Berlin, Germany 290.00. Should I or shouldn't I? I did and he had a heart attack with the price. You have to do what you have to do. He contracted me to do his signs and have them there by a given time. I did it and he finally paid.
