Please note that in some countries we require prepayment. This means you have to pay for the goods before we ship them to you.
During the online checkout process, you can enter your card details when prompted.
Your credit card details will be stored in your account, so you can easily re-order next time.
If you don't place the order yourself, but a purchasing agent does this for you, then you can give them the details of your desired items using the saved baskets feature.
Many organizations give a PO number to each order that is sent to us. In turn, we will include this PO number on the invoice. This enables your organization's administration to confirm the invoice is valid.
If your organization uses formal PO numbers, please enter the PO number during the online checkout process when prompted. If your organization does not use formal PO numbers, but you still want to buy online, then enter your initials and date in the 'purchase order number' box instead. You will then get an invoice in your account for your organization to approve.
A quotation is a formal document outlining the items, the costs and the delivery terms. This can be useful if your organization requires it. If you need a quote, contact us using the 'orders' email address for your region.
Quotations are also offered when you're paying for one of our custom products or services.
A pro-forma invoice is similar to a quotation, but is used for pre-payment purposes. This is a formal document outlining the items, the costs and the delivery terms. This can be useful if your organization requires it.
There here are certain countries that we require payment from up front before we deliver to them. If you're in one of these countries, you have the option to either pay upfron by credit card, or request a pro-forma invoice on checkout.
There are certain countries around the world where we ask you to prepay for your order. This means you will have to pay before your product gets shipped to you.
This can either be done by credit card on checkout, or you can request a proforma invoice when you place the order (see screenshot below).
