PAYMENT

Unless arrangements have been made to the contrary and provided that credit arrangements have been agreed then payment is due within 14 days of delivery or collection, thereafter a 10% credit charge is added and the account becomes due. In the event of payment terms being exceeded then goods will only be supplied on a C.O.D / P.W.O basis plus the amount to bring the account to within terms.

PAYMENT BY CARD

There will be no charge for payment by Bank Debit Card, however for Credit Card payments, we reserve the right to charge as a percentage of the value of the payment to recover the cost to us.

CASH ON DELIVERY (TRADE CUSTOMERS ONLY)

If payment is received on delivery of goods a 1% discount will be given. The discount will be in the form of a credit note issued following the receipt of the payment and detailed on your next invoice.

DAMAGES, SHORTAGES & RETURNS

All damaged goods, shortages and goods for return must be notified within 2 working days of delivery.
