Vendor Information

Vendor Payments

Monthly Vendor Payments

Vendors are paid for their sales on a monthly schedule. During the first ten business days of each month, we total all sales, commission and shipping charges for the previous month, and mail a check to each vendor.

All vendor payments are based on items shipped in the previous month. So, it is very important that vendors that ship their own orders must confirm each shipment.

Vendor payments always reflect your gross sales and shipping charges, less our commission and any adjustments.

Samples

Below are two samples of vendor payment statements. Both are taken from actual documents. Only the vendor's identity has been removed for their privacy.

Vendor Ships

In the example below, you can see the vendor has filled two orders. The table shows the amounts for each item, the commission we earned, and the total amount we paid the vendor. In the "Shipping Charges & Adjustments" section, the vendor's shipping charges are totaled for each order, and added to the amount on the bottom line. We then write a check and mail it along with this form to the vendor.

TJ West Ships

In this example, everything is the same, except this vendor stocks his products with us, so we do the shipping. There is no reimbursement for shipping charges, because the vendor did not ship anything, we did. But the vendor didn't have to pack or ship the orders, and they didn't have to pay for the shipping. When we stock and ship, vendors save lots of time, and we don't even charge extra!
