Payment Terms & Credit Accounts

MrTakeOutBags.com was designed to be a different kind of business than some of the distributors you may have purchased from in the past. To keep our operating costs as low as possible so we could give the guaranteed lowest prices on our products, we decided this would be a hard to manage feature, and very expensive leading to the need to raise our pricing to all buyers, whether or not they wanted the open account. Our cost of doing business would be much higher if we carried open accounts and had to approve credit applications, make credit reference calls, administrate the Accounts Receivable balances, send statements, buy and affix postage, stuff and mail envelopes, enter credit sales into an accounting program, run statements, make collections calls, turn over very bad accounts to collection agencies, hire and pay attorneys to file claims and defend ourselves in bankruptcy hearings, write-off bad debt, and sustain the expenses and losses of unpaid bills from some of the people who disappear when they owe money and can't afford to pay. We are able to save our entire customer base at least 5-10% by NOT having the expense of at least two or three full time persons to do all these things, and this allows management time better spent finding new products for our customers to buy. To date MrTakeOutBags.com has thousands of active accounts, of which NOT ONE owes us a dollar, and most of our customers like it that way. We hope you understand that we can not and will not give credit to anyone, even my brother in law.
