payment terms

最近有单在烦恼。 请问一下各位大虾外贸你们会赊账60天吗？我相信很多同仁会否定回答。 一个老客户，合作两年，但是订单量不大一年一百万RMB都不够，最近有单，发了PI，我们的付款条款是50%定金，50%出货钱付清。前面几单客户都没异议，合作很顺利。 这次订单金额5W多美金，客户邮件如下： Regarding PI??of ref no.XXX, kindly be informed that no advance payment is approved anymore so we need to change the payment term from advance payment to open credit account. we can pay after 60 days from delivery date Pls confirm the above in order to proceed with PO Regards 显然是付款条款问题，要赊账60天，老板坚决说LED行业没有这样赊账的，就算国内也没有这种现象。风险太大。好吧，我了同学公司，她们是香港服装公司，据说很多大客户都是用这种方式付款。根据老板意思我回复客户如下。 Thanks for your email! Regarding to the payment terms, it's hard for us to accept your terms O/A 60days. As in this LED whole industry no supplier go to the first step to do that, it's impossible. No matter overseas market or home market. Generally speaking, we only accept 50% T/T in advance, 50% balance before shipment; but if the total amount in one order exceed USD500,000 we can accept 50% T/T in advance, 50% by Irrevocable, confirmed L/C at sight by first class ranking international bank. So for this order, we will accept the same terms as usual. Please kindly know that. Your early reply will be appreciated! 隔一天，客户没有音讯，我跟进了一下 How are you? Did you received the below email I reply about the payment terms? May I know what's your opinion? Looking forward your reply soon, thank you! 到客户马上回复的，意思用以前的付款方式，OK，我就始等待付款。 We will proceed with same old payment term regards 过了几天，还没到客户水单。我有点急,发邮件跟进 Dear xxx, Please kindly let me know if you he arranged 50%deposit payment or not? Please informed me and I will arrange production as soon as possible! 客户又马上回复我 Dear xxx, Kindly be informed that 50% advance payment??will be arranged after you confirmation on the below: Our finance dept agreed to pay 50% adv payment but in order to pay the balance after 60 days from delivery date; otherwise it will be difficult to proceed Awaiting your kind reply 赊一半也不同意,坚持自己的立场，赊账伤不起，到时候不兑现找谁要钱。 Dear xxx, I am sorry, we can not accept that. The payment terms policy will be done as my early email mention. As old friend please understanding and advise. 客户到邮件，但是没回复我。昨天发的邮件，今天我又去一封询问进展。仔细分析下，估计是他公司财务政策问题才会要变付款条款，但是我们不敢冒险。PS：据了解，客户是大集团公司。 如果客户不妥协，恐怕这单难保。大虾有什么好招吗？
