He also pays any salaries and rent and utilities with the other 30 bucks.

My dry cleaners don't phone me up when my dry cleaning is done, they told me when it would be done. When I order pizza for pickup, they tell me when it will be ready, they don't phone me up. They told the original poster when it would be ready, then probably waited for him until a whack of time passed then said wtf, is he picking this thing up or is he going to screw us ove?

I'd be fine if it was an off the shelf order, it wasn't it was a custom order. then when they phone, he tells them that he'll come by and pick it up and doesn't.
The op is out nothing, the shop owner is out 40 bucks plus time. Who got screwed over here, it wasn't the op.
