What are your payment terms?
H&B Art accepts Western Union, credit card, e-checking and PayPal, and standard bulk orders are settled by telegraphic transfer on a 30% deposit with the 70% balance due before shipment.
Standard structure for bulk orders
| Stage | Share | When |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | 30% | Before production begins |
| Balance | 70% | Before shipment |
This structure is what allows production to be scheduled without tying up working capital, and it is the same for OEM, ODM and private label programs. Larger container programs are quoted on their own terms.
Methods accepted
- Telegraphic transfer — the standard method for bulk orders
- Credit card and e-checking — convenient for samples and smaller orders
- PayPal — suited to sample and trial quantities
- Western Union — available on request
Why the split sits where it does
The deposit covers raw materials, which are committed at the start of the run rather than at the end. The balance is settled before shipment, so the goods are released against a completed payment rather than an outstanding one — which keeps documents, freight booking and release on a single timeline.
Confirming your own terms
Payment terms are restated in the proforma invoice issued with the order confirmation, so the structure that applies to your quotation is the one on that document. If your procurement process requires different staging, raise it at the quotation stage rather than after the deposit has been paid.
