Timber producers regularly face inadequate treatment from dealers, who often do not know the specifics of the forest business. When ordering lumber, they turn out to be completely uninformed in determining its quality. To sell wood and not run into a conflict, you need to adhere to certain rules.
It is necessary
- - GOST and TU;
- - contract.
Instructions
Step 1
Before signing an agreement with a reseller, discuss all the subtleties and nuances: wood quality, compliance with GOST and TU. Discuss all the acceptable defects in lumber. Then all this should be transferred to the contract and signed by both parties. Now, if the customer has unreasonable claims, you can always prove your case.
Step 2
If you are worried that there may be problems with the buyer, taking the prepayment, provide him with a receipt.
Step 3
Indicate in the contract a clause in which the amount of the fine will be indicated in case the customer suddenly abandons the sawn timber. Thus, you will get back at least some of your money.
Step 4
Do not agree to payment only after acceptance at the customer's warehouse. This threatens that an unscrupulous buyer can simply pick up the finished lumber without paying for it.
Step 5
If a customer orders material of non-standard sizes, and you are working with it for the first time, ask for 100% prepayment. In this case, the customer will no longer refuse the deal, and you will not have to puzzle over how to sell the timber.
Step 6
Sign a contract with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry before handing over the lumber to the buyer. The act drawn up by this service will confirm the compliance of the quality of the provided timber with the required by the customer. And, in case of misunderstanding, this document will be the most important proof of your innocence.
