Bank transfer (T/T)

USD to our nominated account. The standard method on every order. All charges outside our bank are for the buyer's account, and the order is scheduled when funds clear.

Card payment

Visa and Mastercard through the secure payment link on your invoice, for deposits and orders under USD 25,000. Card payments settle immediately and carry no surcharge from us.

Documentary credit

Irrevocable L/C at sight for orders above USD 20,000, issued by a bank we can confirm. Terms are agreed on the quotation so the wording matches the shipping documents.

Net 30 account

Available after two completed orders: 30-day terms against invoice, subject to a trade reference and the legal entity details on file.

Security

Controls on both sides

Payment instructions are issued only from our sales desk, on PDF documentation, from a single verified channel. We will never change bank details by email without a call-back to a number already on file, and we never request payment to a personal account.

Card details are entered on the payment provider's hosted page and are never seen or stored by us. All traffic to this site is encrypted in transit.

For documentary credit, the wording is agreed before the L/C is issued so the documents presented match the credit exactly — that is the most common cause of a discrepancy, and it is avoidable at the quotation stage.

Full commercial terms, including late-payment provisions, are on trade terms.

Which currencies do you accept?

Invoices are issued in USD. EUR and GBP transfers are accepted on request and converted at the bank rate on the day of receipt, with the conversion shown on the receipt. Card payments are charged in USD.

How do I know the bank details are genuine?

Bank details appear on the PDF invoice issued from our sales desk and are never changed by email. If you receive a message changing our account, call the number on your original quotation before paying. We will never ask for payment to a third-party account.

When is the balance due?

Against the bill of lading copy, before the original documents are released. On CIF and DAP terms the freight is included in the invoice; on FOB it is invoiced separately at cost.

Do you charge for card payments?

No surcharge from us. Your card issuer may apply its own cross-border or currency fee, which is outside our control.

Are deposits refundable?

On stock lines the deposit is refundable less a 10% restocking fee until dispatch. On production runs the deposit covers materials once cutting or casting begins and is not refundable after that point.

Want 30-day terms on your account?

Complete two orders and ask the sales desk for a credit review with a trade reference.
