Service First Merchandise will extend credit to approved customers. A credit check will be performed based upon information submitted with your order profile, and an appropriate line of credit established. We will notify you when your account is approved, generally up to business days from when you submitted your order. In the event that you do not meet our minimum credit requirements, there are other options available to you. Your Sales or Customer Service Representative will contact you to discuss those options.
Standard payment terms are due upon receipt and you will be invoiced once the produce has shipped.
If you have an existing account, there are conditions under which your account may be placed on credit hold:
- If your account is over 30 days past due
- If a check is returned for Non Sufficient Funds
- In the event of a debt being turned over to third party collections
- If the combined amount of multiple orders exceeds your approved credit limit
