Dora at Colorful Packaging came back on the Tyson 2.0 artwork thread on July 29. She sent a design proof with one black color corrected for our sign-off, then followed with a proforma invoice including bank details, and 11 minutes later replaced it with an updated invoice. She also asked which email address we want used to draft the order on Alibaba. Nothing was sent from our side after Andrew's 08:40 receipt-confirmation request, so proof approval, invoice payment, and the Alibaba email question are all still open with us.
Happenings
- [Tyson 2.0 Packaging] Dora sent the design proof with the single black-color fix applied, for our approval
- [Tyson 2.0 Packaging] Invoice issued with bank/wire information, then superseded by an updated invoice the same morning
- [Tyson 2.0 Packaging] Dora asked which email address to use to draft the order on Alibaba — no reply yet from us
Decisions
- Order will be drafted and placed through Alibaba once we supply the email address to use.
Risks
- Two invoices were sent 3 minutes apart (original then 'updated') — risk of paying against the wrong version if not confirmed.
- Bank details delivered by email; verify against known account before wiring to avoid payment-diversion fraud.
- No reply from our side since 7/29 — proof approval, payment, and the Alibaba question are all stalled on us and could delay production.
