I'm with Dan on this one. It sounds like they were trying to be accommodative. Everyone has to get things done and earn a living in a business that has a very short season. Your window for deliveries should be wider and it is definately better to get material sooner rather than later. I would invest in some soaker hoses just in case you need to get plants delivered for a job that may not start for a few days or weeks.
I'm not sure why you are out any money, and from your description if you gave this vendor a deposit it sounds like he would have the kind of business that would credit you for a future purchase.
Remember, you get more bees with honey then you do vinegar. (Hey don't bees make the honey? And why would you want more bees anyway?)
