How can I send in a purchase order?

How long does it take to get approved for Net 30?

Normally the process takes 1-5 business days, but it could be longer or quicker depending on how quickly your references get back to us. A good tip is to notify your references in advance, if possible, that someone from our accounting department will be contacting them.

Your company charged me a $25 bank fee, but I don’t see that reflected in my order? Can you put that on the invoice or refund me the $25?

Unfortunately, that bank fee is charged by the bank, not by us, and we have to pass that fee onto our customers. We cannot alter the invoice to match what you paid because often we do not receive the full amount and have to adjust our invoice/order to match what we received from the bank.

My country places high taxes on imported goods. Can you please change the invoice to reflect only $100, or state that it is a gift?

Our sales orders and invoices are all system generated, and we cannot alter any invoices to reflect different pricing for customs clearance. This is illegal as per the US export guidelines and could result in severe fines imposed on both the shipper and the receiver.
