Payments & Fees

Payment plans for goods & services


DEPOSIT + SETTLEMENT BASIS:

  • When invoicing for any goods that are manufactured to order, we request the customer MUST pay a security deposit (SD for short).
  • SD amounts are usually percentage based but can vary widely depending on the project at hand.
  • The SD amount is used to cover the costs of materials and components we use within the manufacturing process. 
  • Once paid, security deposits are non refundable. HOWEVER this amount can usually be applied as customer credit, but ONLY up until the point manufacture has begun and materials/components have been ordered.
  • Exclusions or deductions from customer credit may occur in the instance we order non-standard materials and components specifically for a project, which become redundant due to customer change of mind.
  • Upon proof of manufacture completion, the customer must pay the specified settlement amount before goods and dispatched.


DEPOSIT + INSTALLMENT BASIS:

  • We can offer customers this choice for a flexible payment plan, whereby once the security deposit is paid in full the settlement amount can be broken down into more manageable pieces and paid over time.
  • Minimum installment amounts do apply.
  • Goods remain property of PCH Audio and can not be collected or dispatched until paid in full.
  • Customers may incur storage fees if they fail to make payments within the specified time frame, and failure to pay within a reasonable time frame may also result in the re-sale of the goods in question or loss of security deposit for the customer.


UPFRONT BASIS:

  • Supply of components and more simple manufactured items such as speaker cables must be paid for in full upfront.
  • Customers can choose to pay any invoice in full upfront if they so wish, but please be aware this will not help accelerate lead times.



Accepted payment methods


  • BACS / bank transfer (UK or international)
  • Cash (UK only)



Finance


  • Sorry, PCH Audio does not currently offer any direct finance options.
