[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 443327, member: 1607"] No such thing as "best practice" about how or when anyone gets paid. it is purely a mutually agreeable contract between a buyer and a seller. If either party hasn't formally agreed what the terms of payment are then it could be said one or both of them are not really on the ball. But as long as a method is agreed then that is best practice for that transaction. I know that if I order some slabs from our local builders merchant, they will deliver and I pay the driver. Or if I use a mobile tyre fitter, they do the work then I pay them once I have received all the goods. But if you order a kitchen from B&Q they typically ask for the money paid up front. or a non standard part for you car at the local garage they may ask for payment up front. Its all down to individual agreed contract terms. If an electrician has no payment terms, or fails to tell the customer of their terms they are a bit unprofessional in my opinion. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
