Axil, Sometimes you must trust the companies with which you do business. Why work with some group that you think might cheat you?
I suspect that most of the folks on this list have been on the losing end of a contract before. Jed acted in good faith and they failed to reciprocate. That is not the way to improve the good will of your company. Do you think that Jed will offer future assistance without up front payment plus money for that ticket?

They say that the devil is in the details. It could be that DGT failed to honor their offer to refund your costs as being due to your negative proclamations about their technical and financial stability of their company. They say that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Such negative feelings of humiliation and rejection are human and natural. This reaction is not good phycology or behavior and is also a bad business move on your part. Also, some may not feel it wise to buckle under the onslaught of negativism by rewarding it with capitulation. Such capitulation to recrimination will be taken as a sign of weakness throughout the business world. Furthermore, if your business strategy is to front expenses to maintain the appearance of impartiality and independence, your loss might well be absorbed as a self funded business expense; to be expected from time to time in the course of doing business. After all, you made the business mistake of not protecting yourself by buying a non refundable ticket.

That is a bad move on your part. I was planning to pay for the whole trip. I normally never accept money from organizations I am visiting. They only agreed to pay because they repeatedly had to put off the visit, and they finally had to cancel. The problems were at their end, so they agreed to pay. Stop speculating about this. You do not know what you are talking about. There is only one relevant fact, and no one disputes it: They publicly promised to pay. They never did pay. End of story. - Jed
