Payment before delivery

[supercow]

Hi, seen a grand wee tractor we need for our small holding a hours drive away in the tractor. Iv seen a tractor online and the dealership is demanding payment before delivery. Was just wondering what people’s thoughts were. It isn’t local

Go see said tractor, meet the sales man, instil him some confidence in you , maybe offer 50% ££ upfront, the rest on delivery subject to any major issues.

Are you confident it is legit? Pay on credit card at the very least so you have some protection.

Put the dealers name on here and then at least if anyone on TFF is local to them they could give you an idea if they are straight.

Thought about that but the business doesn’t carry a credit card!

Do you have a personal one?

You’ll have no problem with them. @Ballygreenan is from that direction I think. Although I don’t think it would be unreasonable for you to ask to pay most upfront with the remainder after you have got the machine

If you do that make sure the bill is private as if you have to send it in the credit card company will reject it if business name

Many say that you should never pay before delivery but I have no problem with it because they would also say you shouldn't deliver without money upfront!

It is absolutely essential that you do due diligence and make sure everything adds up before transferring any money. The address, the person, the business, the account and telephone numbers and the item being bought must be at the same place and item clearly described.

Business credit card won't help you I don't think as they don't offer the same protection as a personal card.

Buy it on your personal card.

We’re too close to be tempted by them

Has anyone ever paid for anything like a tractor up front before delivery?

Presonal credit card won;t help either if they see its a buisness transaction

Yes bought a digger on here and paid for it all before it turned up a few weeks later

If it’s a hour away I really don’t see what your problem here is? If your parting with a f**k load of money and worried about it... drive the hour... pay the money..... follow the truck home....
