Payments can be made via credit card, contract-buying, or bank transfer at checkout.

If for some reason we are unable to approve your contract, your sales rep should be in contact with you to explain our reasons and present options.

Once an order is placed, modifications can only be made by contacting our support team, so make sure that you’re certain before you click submit that you’ve crossed your t’s and dot your i’s.  We can go in and change it later, but you’ll end up getting way more emails than you probably wanted.

Contract balances can be viewed in the client’s account. These balances will reflect which coffees are still in our warehouse, and how much remaining you have on your bill.
