Nope both of the traders I deal with and have sold to for deliver march are still on 28 days post movement and 14th of the month following movement.
If your not happy to wait ask for it to be amended to 28 days or go else where.

Looks like argrain contract judging by the paper. Never paid on time when I dealt with them . Cheques you could guarantee fall on the mat on a Saturday morning regardless whether it was due the Monday before . Once sold said firm feed barley to then have it collected and lorry driver inform me it was off to flambrough maltings . You can guess the outcome of that
That does look like Argrain. Perhaps they are slow being paid so want to hang onto the cash for a bit longer to ensure they have theirs from the consumer first? We get paid by Argrain via BACS, though I'm not sure when it actually lands in our account. We store grain for them so frequently it doesn't physically move when we sell to them.
Paid on the 28th of the next month after collection.
2 loads due for collection in October. Didn't get collected till beginning of November. Assumed they'd still have the decency to pay up at the end of the month as per contract. Nope, rolled it over till December. Ever get the feeling your the wrong end of the food chain ?

Nope.
That's wrong and I hope you've told them so. I've had contracts rolled forward for £1/t/month extra. If they were late collecting I'd have a chat - usually they would either pay sooner or pay extra. If I needed it moved because of space and/or cash I'd also discuss that with them early on. It's just basic communication IMHO.

Here are their accounts for the last year. They are not an indication of the future, but I haven't seen anything that bothers me.
I don't think "carry" usually applies on most contracts if only 14 days in to the next month, but some will as a goodwil gesture.

didn't you get it tested for malting before selling?
Call them up. I always do
Insuring you against non payment at the other end. Openfield?
Many merchants have their own credit insurance against non payments, and hide the cost in their quoted price to you. If they can't get credit insurance on that customer, it's time to stop selling to them! I've checked out a few merchants in the past when payment timings started slipping as my finance director had contacts in the credit business. Luckily, I've not been burned yet & the one merchant I was worried about is now under new ownership.

That does put a different spin on your risk position. I can just imagine the queue of T&Ts coming up the A1 to collect if things happened to go sour for others.
