Minimum Billing
Net minimum billing is $10.00.  We will attempt to advise a customer when their order is below minimum so order quantities can be increased, but can not guarantee that we will always do so.

Payment Terms
Payment Terms are Net 30 Days.  A finance charge of 1 1/2% per month (18% annual rate) may be added to any past due amounts.  Customer agrees to pay all cost of collection or attempting to collect, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, any amounts not paid by customer within payment terms.

Credit Policy
We may decline to accept orders or stop orders in process if customer has invoices more than 30 days past due or if reason develops to question financial responsibility of customer.

Freight
Standard freight terms are F.O.B. shipping point.  Prepaid freight terms are available on orders exceeding certain dollar amounts.  Please check with your salesperson for additional information regarding prepaid freight terms.

Backorders
Unless otherwise instructed, we will backorder any items not filled on your original order, except backorders totaling less than $ 5.00 which will be canceled.   Backorders will be shipped under the same freight terms as the original order on which they were placed.

Delivery Dates
Whenever possible, we will attempt to quote a delivery date on items not in stock.  However, these quotes are estimates based on information from our suppliers, and we can not guarantee them.

Returns
No returns will be accepted without prior authorization.  No returns will be accepted on special order items.  To be returned, products must be unaltered and in excellent condition and in original packages whenever possible.  A restocking charge may be charged on any accepted returns.

Damaged or Short Shipment
Shortages must be reported within 5 days after receipt of shipment.  If shortage is found to be the fault of the freight carrier, customer must make claim with carrier (except UPS claims which we will make).  If any goods are damaged in transit, customer must make claim with freight carrier (except UPS) for reimbursement.

Cancellations
Cancellations of orders for standard products will be accepted prior to shipment.  Cancellations will be accepted on non-stock or special order items only when we are able to cancel our orders for these items.  Customer must agree to pay any actual costs incurred by us to cancel special orders or orders for non-stock items.
