Unless she can prove to the judge that delivery was an integral part of your verbal contract and that you violated the terms by taking too long to deliver, I wouldn't worry too much about a judgement in her favor. The fact you will have delivered all the items in the contract by the time the case arrives in small claims court will make it exceedingly difficult for her to prove her case. I would, however, use this as a lesson why you should never enter into a verbal contract and always have it in writing. Besides, I'm sure she was just venting her frustration (which I can somewhat understand given the admittedly long delivery times) and keep in mind that 90% or more of the people who claim they're going to take you to court never do. They usually think differently about it when they're calm and collected.</p></blockquote><p></p>
