Trading Terms DMC (Midlands) Limited is a bona fide 'Trade Only' supplier. All new customers are required to complete a Credit Application Form before a trade credit account is established. All initial orders & some subsequent orders are on a pro-forma basis. Orders and Delivery Our minimum invoice value for delivery is £350 + VAT. Customers must have good access and we must be able to get a large vehicle close to the delivery point. Our Drivers are unaccompanied and in the case of larger pieces of furniture, will only be responsible for furniture to the back of our vehicle, but our Driver if asked and at their discretion will give assistance with unloading to a suitable unloading bay. Under no circumstances will our Drivers be held responsible for any furniture once it has left our vehicle. Drivers cannot leave vehicles unattended, so please do not expect them to take items to upstairs storerooms, cellars etc. Our delivery vehicles operate on multi-drop deliveries, so unfortunately it is not possible to state an exact delivery time, but can usually inform you of the day and whether morning or afternoon. Also all Drivers have mobile phones and are usually in contact with Head Office, so we can usually give you up to date information, whilst the vehicle is on-route. It will not be possible to make deliveries if closing day's co-inside with our route planning. Payment Payment must be made by the agreed method and in the agreed time. Any overdue amounts will accrue an interest of 2% above the Barclays Bank PLC base rate per month over. All Show Price offers must be paid for in full to the driver.
