Payments: Emailed invoices will include a link for ACH payment only. Please contact our office for instructions for wire transfers. If paying by check, please make sure payment arrives before your Net terms are due. We will no longer accept credit cards as a form of payment.
Back Orders: Kreussler, Inc. will be responsible for freight on shipments to fill backordered products only if the original order qualifies for free freight. We will give you the option to have the backordered items added to a future shipment before we send them out.
Re-Packaging of Products: All of our containers are sealed at the factory. Kreussler cannot guarantee the quality and integrity of products whose seals have been broken. Therefore, Kreussler, Inc. does not authorize the repackaging of any Kreussler products.
Damaged/ Missing Goods: Kreussler makes every effort to make sure every order is count-correct and in good condition prior to leaving our facilities in Tampa, FL, Jaffrey, NH, Las Vegas, NV or Wiesbaden. Kreussler also realizes goods in transit may become damaged and/or short product count upon arrival to distributor facility. Therefore, distributor must inspect and count deliveries prior to the shipping company representative leaving facility and make notation on shipping papers and signed by representative. Kreussler will not be responsible for damaged and/or missing goods once the shipping company representative leaves without such documentation.
Re-selling of Kreussler goods: Kreussler’s reputation is affected by the entire distribution chain’s performance, therefore, the re-selling of Kreussler goods to unauthorized distributors is prohibited unless written permission from Kreussler, Inc is received.
Return Goods: All goods returned to Kreussler, Inc. must have prior written approval (RMA), be in re-saleable condition and within 180 days of purchase. All returned goods would have a 20% restocking fee deducted from purchase price. Customer bears all freight costs. Credits will be applied to future purchases or any outstanding balance. Exceptions to this policy may include opening orders that no local market exists or products purchased at the request of a local representative that did not sell. In this case Kreussler will bear all freight costs and no re-stocking charges will apply.
Order processing: Kreussler makes every effort to process and deliver goods in a timely and efficient manner. Orders received after 2:00 pm (EST/EDT) will not be entered for processing until the following business day. Orders will be processed and shipped within 5 business days unless otherwise notified. If you need expedited processing please let us know at the time you place your order and we will do everything we can to accommodate the request. All shipments are sent by standard ground carriers; expedited shipping, if available, can be arranged at an additional cost not included in our standard terms.
