I confirm everything (address, time, ID matching spelling on docs, etc.) PRIOR to printing. Sometimes that is not possible - in those cases I receive PayPal prior to printing. Or, find someone else who wishes to "take a chance". Getting $25 for printing a typical package (twice) and driving over an hour each way does not happen to me.

For the national companies, I suppose it wouldn't be a new thing. I do wonder about the companies closer to me. Since I never have had to wait for the payment before doing something, can you please tell me how long it takes before you see the payment?
My PayPal card is really just a MasterCard with the PayPal logo. It's a "debit card" and requires the use of a 4 digit "pin" number to buy something. In Manhattan, NY credit cards use is very common - even at Starbucks and McDonalds. Notification of a payment received is sent to the cardholder minutes after payment. At the same time a receipt is sent to the person making the payment.

If you don't value your time and experience, nobody else will.
I ask for a PayPal payment prior to departure.
