Any other information about payment terms
Royal Mail Group Limited has a discretionary approach to use of standard payment terms. In contracts where the standard terms are not appropriate, particularly those involving smaller suppliers, a shorter payment period may be agreed. For example, all owner driver contracts are processed on 7 days and couriers on 14 days. Royal Mail’s standard contract clause wording relating to payment terms states that invoices are processed for payment on the relevant day stated in the payment terms, i.e. on day 90 for standard contracts and day 45 for purchase orders
