I paid for a commission in February. It's a simple sticker base-fill without any line change so should be fast? Yet I had to remind the artist twice about it, and they finally added me to their queue (because yep I wasn't even in their queue). Of course they added me at the faaar end of their queue after 12 other customers, so I have to wait for them to first finish commissions that were paid like 2 days ago.
It just feels unfair that I have to remind them every two months about my commission, just for them to finally put me after all the clients who paid after me.
