How do I pay for products you manufacture?

The safest method of payment for both parties is an irrevocable letter of credit. With a letter of credit, the customer puts the money for the goods in trust with a third party bank at the time the purchase documents are placed. (The customer buys a financial instrument that promises to pay the vendor when certain conditions are met.) The vendor receives payment from the bank when the vendor presents their shipping documents proving that the goods have been produced and delivered to the freight carrier according to the purchase documents. The drawbacks with letters of credit are that the instruments can be costly (bank fees) and the customer ties up their funds for the full term while the goods are being manufactured. An alternate method of payment that will save bank fees and reduce the amount of money the customer must tie-up would be a 50% deposit (the amount may vary based on which factory we use). In this case, the customer makes a 50% deposit at the time the merchandise is ordered, and pays the balance by wire when Access Assembly presents shipping documents proving that the goods have been produced and delivered to your location. We must insist on wire funds transactions, because most factories will not ship the merchandise unless they have been paid in full. Exceptions to the rule can always be made.

How long will it take my product to arrive?

It varies. If you are placing a reorder for product we have previously manufactured, your product may be available to ship in as few as 10 days. If it is a new product, complete with prototyping and custom packaging, it may take upwards of 180 days to complete the cycle.

Will ACCESS ASSEMBLY sign a non-disclosure agreement before I show you my product?

There is no problem for us to sign a NDA since our interest is to maintain your business and an outstanding relationship. If we need to contact a third party in order to promote your product or to help your organization design a product, your organization will be contacted first before making any moves.
