One customer from Turkey of our company showed his great interests in our hot-selling product, TP005-Large push button lock for cabinet . Earlier, we had reached an agreement on the price and shipping cost of the product. However, when it came to payment terms, we initially proposed that production and delivery would be arranged only after receiving full payment from him. He disagreed with this and expressed a preference for using the payment method known as cash against documents. We were not familiar with this payment term, so we took the time to research it. We learned that in this payment method, the seller completes the export shipment and prepares the shipping documents. These documents are then presented to the buyer's designated bank or agent in the export country, import country, or a third country, and payment is collected. Since this order was our first cooperation with each other, both parties wanted to protect their own interests, and we did not reach a consensus on the payment terms. Later, after consulting with our manager, we proposed a new arrangement to him: he could choose to pay 50% deposit before production and  50% balance before delivery. However, he still insisted on using the payment term of cash against documents. Finally, after a series of communications with him, he accepted our final proposal of 30% deposit before production and 70% balance before delivery. We will send the updated proforma invoice to him, and now we are waiting for him to arrange the deposit. We hope that our cooperation will proceed smoothly.
