Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Lay & Wheeler does not have standard payment terms, and aims to pay suppliers (both for stock and for services rendered) by their requested date. It should be noted that invoices are frequently received closer to the due date than the agreed terms allow, and we are working with our suppliers for more timely receipt of their invoices.
