Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 60 days. This is also our maximum and shortest standard payment period. There has been no variation to this during the reporting period. Cooplands request that all invoices are emailed to uk.invoices.cooplands@eurogarages.com. We ask that suppliers only send invoices once to avoid the risk of duplication on our purchase ledger, which can result in delayed payments. Payments are made by bacs, and we ask all new suppliers to submit bank details to facilitate these payments.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Any disputes over payments are first raised with our purchase ledger team at the head office in Blackburn. This can be by phone on either 01254 582111 or 01254 924143, or by email to uk.invoices.cooplands@eurogarages.com. This is then investigated by the accounts team, who will contact the buyer in Cooplands if there is a query on the invoice. Any queries relating to the goods or services will then be dealt with by the buyer, before either authorising the invoice for payment, or contacting the supplier to resolve the reasons why the invoice has not been authorised for payment.
