What do payment terms mean?
Our standard payment terms range from Wire in Advance to Net 30. Allied does not offer terms greater than Net 30 under any circumstances. The definition of our terms are as follows:
Wire in Advance - payment must be made by wire before Allied is able to ship goods. If your account is set up for Wire in Advance, please email your wire transfer receipt to accounting@alliedinvsys.com and shipment will be processed ASAP.
Credit Card - payment must be made by credit card before Allied is able to ship goods. Our accounting team will contact you to request payment when the goods are ready to ship, and your shipment will be processed as soon as credit card information is provided. Note that credit card transactions are subject to a 3% surcharge.
Net 15 Days - payment must be received electronically (not by check) by Allied within 15 calendar days of the day goods are shipped.
Net 30 Days - payment must be received electronically (not by check) by Allied within 30 calendar days of the day goods are shipped. Here is an example of how Net 30 terms work:
