• You should not sign for any stock that is damaged and you need to count all sheet product as it comes into stock. Any return should be done 5 days from purchace. We forge strong relationships with suppliers and contact both verbally and via email on any claims. This in 20 years has never failed.
• If you are a supplier on account we find the only way is with hold full payment until the credit is sorted. We have had issues, it gets pushed aside, then supplier staff leave and know one has an record of a credit to be issued. Push to get it finalised early and move on.
• A nightmare - am having to go legal on a claim against a liquid laminator that I was assured would do the job (&more). Lost a massive contract due to the failure of the laminate adherence. Besides the pump never working & fans failing... the supplier agreed to work out a plan in compensation - dragged it out for over a year & then promptly advised that they wont be compensating as the pay out figure on the finance was to large & they wouldnt be able to recoup it..We need a forum where we can post warnings about suppliers failure to live up to their promises...
• Seems the only alternative for this is to seek legal advice, maybe small claims court if the amount is not too big..
• We have a great relationship with our suppliers and never prblem receiving credit for wrong delivered or damaged goods.
• We had a case like this and the supplier agreed they they were in the wrong but would not credit us with the money but gave us a credit on ink and media so it kinda worked out OK in the end.
• A good supplier should always admit when they have made a balls up or equipment does not work the way they claim it should. Any supplier who does not work to these basic business rules should be named and shamed. Having said that, the supplier should state the reasons for their refusal to compensate the buyer - maybe there are good reasons.
