4Shipping / Invoicing

Following your orders, we secure the in-stock merchandise for you and record your pre-orders. Pre-ordered quantities will be allocated to you upon their arrival at our warehouse.

Unless alternative arrangements have been made with your sales representative, as soon as your account reaches the free-shipping threshold, we prepare the merchandise for shipment.

aFree shipping threshold

In your account, under the « ready to go » section, the portal displays the amount remaining to reach free shipping.

Remaining amount for free shipping threshold

This information is automatically updated the day after a product is added or removed.
The removal of an ordered item must be justified and requested through your sales representative.

⚠️ Every week you will receive an automatic email indicating :
- your available backorder ready to ship
- the amount remaining before reaching free shipping. ⚠️

bInvoicing

Unless alternative arrangements have been made with your sales representative, invoice payment is required before the merchandise is shipped.

Your invoices are available in your "My account" section.
