Payment Terms for Wholesale Buyers — How Net Terms Work
Levant Direct doesn't publish a fixed net-terms policy — no blanket net-30, no standard schedule applied to every account. Payment terms for any order are discussed directly and set out on your written quotation, alongside pricing and delivery, and they're something you're free to raise in your very first inquiry rather than assume one way or the other.
That's a deliberate choice, not an oversight: terms genuinely vary by account, order size and history, and a published number that doesn't apply to most buyers would be more misleading than useful.

How payment terms fit into the quotation process
Terms are settled at the same stage as pricing — when your inquiry comes back as a written quotation, the payment expectation for that specific order is part of it, not a separate negotiation afterward. If payment timing matters to how your business budgets, say so when you send your product list rather than waiting until the quotation lands and working backward from there.
What a new account should reasonably expect
We're not going to promise extended terms to a first-time buyer, because that's not how trade credit works anywhere in wholesale food — a new account typically starts on terms that protect both sides, most often payment on or before delivery, and moves toward longer terms as a track record builds. Reorders are what build that history; there's no minimum order size that fast-tracks the process on its own.
What to include in your inquiry if terms matter
The clearer your first inquiry is about who you are and what you're likely to order regularly, the more useful the terms conversation can be — your business's operating history, the order frequency you expect, and trade references if you have them all help. What speeds up a quote generally applies here too: a complete picture up front avoids a round of clarifying questions before either pricing or terms can be discussed.
Why this isn't a blanket net-30 promise
If you're comparing suppliers on published terms, it's worth reading how net-30 and similar terms generally work across the wholesale food trade — that page covers the market pattern honestly, including why most suppliers, ours included, treat extended terms as something earned rather than advertised. This page is the shorter version specific to how the conversation actually happens with us: through your quotation, not a rate card.
Buying questions, answered
Does Levant Direct offer net-30 payment terms?
There's no blanket net-30 or other fixed policy published. Payment terms are discussed per account and set out on your quotation, and they can extend over time as order history builds.
What payment terms should a first-time buyer expect?
A conservative starting position — typically payment on or before delivery — is the norm for a new account across the wholesale food trade generally, ours included, before terms extend with a track record.
How can I work toward extended payment terms?
Through order history. Placing and paying reliably on a first order, then reordering on a consistent cadence, is what most suppliers weigh before extending terms.
When should I raise payment terms — before or after I get a quotation?
Before, ideally, in your first inquiry. It's included in the same conversation as pricing and delivery rather than treated as a separate step after the fact.
