For standard orders, we have designed our self-service site to be incredibly easy to use. It functions just as your run of the mill online retailer. Once you’ve selected the correct quantity of your items and added them to your basket, you proceed to a checkout page where you input all the shipping, billing and payment details.
Customers with NET30 day payment terms will be directed to a similar screen to fill out all the relevant shipping details for the order. You will not be required to input payment information. As the 30-day lead time comes close to lapsing, you will be manually invoiced by a member of the team.
