Michaelangelo Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Spoke to a few distributors out of state and getting some surprising responses. 60 day terms? really, in our home state we are Net 30 and very happy with our partner. Is this normal for sales outside of your home state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 As a Craft Distiller, AMS has little brand power, as we, and like most others, are trying to build a brand. I wish I could get paid in 60 days. So far, we have had to place inventory in their warehouse and get paid as it is sold. They have no real drive to sell it, so we do. My partner lives in Annapolis, but getting them to service the accounts we send them is another up hill battle. Between the VA ABC's strangle hold on distribution and the law making us use distributors in 3 tier states, I can say sometimes; this business really sucks.

tl5612 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I would say 30 days is good. Many would be the end of the next month (average 45 days). 60 days next. Amazon's terms for 90 days (selling direct) is worse. Being paid in advance for export is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
