Net 30 days with approved creditNet terms are only available to USA government entities, public school systems, universities, colleges within the USA and publicly traded corporations (NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ).  We do not accept purchase orders from publicly traded companies on foreign exchanges.  All orders are appreciated, but due to the expense involved in handling small orders, our minimum order amount is $500.00 for purchase orders.

Customers are invoiced on the date of shipment, and payment is due within 30 days of invoicing.  In case of late payment, a 1.5% interest charge is added to the unpaid balance (18% per annum)The Buyer agrees to pay usually attorney's fees or collection costs added to invoice for delinquent accounts.  Please fax your official purchase orders to 978-374-5568.  All purchase orders must include the purchase order number, indicate quantity, item number, unit cost for each item, S&H fee, along with the shipping and billing address, and terms of net 30.  Any purchase order with terms greater than 30 days will be refused (all of our suppliers offer 30 day terms to us and we are NOT going to grant anyone net 35, 45, 60, 90 or some companies have even attempted to request net 180)  We also REQUIRE your purchase order included a point of contact person with phone number.  All sales are FOB shipping point.  If your company's policy is to purchase FOB destination then the easiest thing to do is add our S&H fee to the price of the balance since we can not offer you free freight, since again our margins are extremly low.

To open an account, please provide us with:

  • The Full Company Name & Address
  • Year business was established
  • The stock symbol your company trades under
  • Four trade references of commercial accounts from whom you are buying on open account terms.  Include Company name, address, telephone phone, account number and a contact person who handles your account.

We can no longer extend terms to privately held businesses.  We sell at a huge discount and can't justify paying a credit manager nor staffing to chase down receivables.  In today's price sensitive marketplace and in order to offer the lowest possible prices we have to request privately held businesses to either pay with a credit card, mail us a certified business check or wire transfer the funds.  We accept all government procurement cards, VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, NOVUS and money orders.

Net terms are not available for purchasing outside the USA.  Please review our International Sales guidelines.

Our return and cancellation policy can be reviewed here.

All purchase orders should be made out to:

WE ACCEPT credit cards

Although the companies below meet our guidelines for an open net 30 account we can no longer offer terms to these companies as well as any of their divisions.  The reason is it took hell and high water to collect our money and they did not pay within 30 days.  None of the companies below had any problems with their balance(s) so this wasn't the reason for the delay in payment.  Many just told us when we called for payment the end user never signed off, the money hasn't been allocated, or the check is in the mail when no check was sent.

We also provide this information so no other small business has to endure the torture these big companies put us through to get our money.  If you work for one of the companies below and would like to make a purchase, you will need to pay us with a credit card or send a check in advance.
