If remittance amount received is short your shipment will be held until the balance due is resolved.

NET 30 Day Pricing means that payment must be received within Day 1 through Day 30. NET 60 Day Pricing means that payment must be received within Day 31 through Day 60. Payments received after the NET Terms extended are subject to additional fees. All prices are based on shipment quantity. Quoted pricing does not include shipping and handling (included in Proforma Invoice).
