Our goal is to ensure your experience is seamless from purchase to delivery.
PRICES AND TERMS
Our prices are subject to change without notice. The price in effect when we receive your order will apply. All prices are in US Dollars (USD) and are shipped F.O.B., meaning ownership and risk transfer at the point of shipment. Terms of payment are net 30 days. For questions about pricing, contact our sales representatives directly.

When ordering, please include your purchase order number, complete “Ship To” and “Bill To” address, catalog number, quantity, and description of product(s). Also include your name and a phone number where you can be reached should we have any questions concerning your order.

We offer special pricing for volume (bulk) purchases and standing orders. Please call a sales representative for more information on special pricing qualifications.
