Frequently asked questions

What shipping terms should I use for durable goods?

Common terms include FOB Origin (buyer pays freight and owns risk once shipped) and FOB Destination (seller pays freight and retains risk until delivery). Choose terms that match your agreement and clearly state them on the invoice.

How do I handle sales tax for wholesale transactions?

If you have a valid resale certificate from the buyer, you can often skip sales tax. Always verify the certificate is current and keep a copy on file. If you're shipping to multiple states, check each state's rules.

What if the customer disputes the invoice?

Reference the original purchase order and delivery receipt. Keep detailed records of communications. If the dispute is about damaged goods, refer to your RGA policy and note any claims deadlines.
