Payment Terms
Orders: All orders are shipped FOB Frederick, MD 21701. To expedite shipment, initial orders are typically shipped Prepaid (Credit Card). Upon establishment of credit, terms are NET 30 days from invoice date. Payment must be postmarked by the 30th day for terms to be met. No orders will be shipped to accounts with a past due balance. Payments: We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. All funds must be drawn on a United States Bank. No foreign checks please. Account balances over 30 days past due will be assessed a finance charge of 1 ½ % per month (APR 18%). Habitual lateness will revert your account to a “COD only” status. Returned checks: If one of your checks that we deposit is returned by our bank as uncollected, you will be assessed a $15 fee. We will then re-deposit your check. If the check still does not clear, and is returned a second time, you will be charged another $15 fee. You will then have an opportunity to provide us with a new, certified check or money order, or to make payment with a charge card. Finally, if we do not have your replacement funds within 10 days of notification, we will then send your original check for collection, and assess you an additional $25. Of course, all this is in addition to the fees your own bank will be charging you. As you can see, writing bad checks can get very expensive. We truly hope you don’t send us one
Returns
Should an error or shortage occur, or you receive defective or damaged merchandise, please report it immediately, but absolutely no more than 30 days from the invoice date. Please have your account number and invoice number ready when you call. We will issue a return authorization number which must appear on the carton you are returning.

Additionally, we will fill all backorders by December 1st, and no new backorders will be created in the month of December.
