Have any of you ordered yet,what is delivery like?

We went for a tanker with a trailing shoe, ordered end of February, delivery in July

Will a pro forma invoice suffice? If I remember correctly from the Aberystwyth meeting it did not need to be a receipted invoice with evidence of payment.

I put in a provisional order in with Simtech (subject to getting approved) about a month ago and it should arrive early May. They had lots of drills in the pipeline apparently.

That's definitely what they said in Aber and I'm hoping to get invoices and send the claim in asap.

A supplier told me that he had been informed that an invoice with a covering letter explaining the delivery date would do. Any inspection then wouldn't be until after the delivery date. There's no way that everything is going to get made and delivered in the timescale required IMO, especially now a lot of the items are on the English scheme too, all coming from a limited number of suppliers.

Might be worth checking that with the scheme management and getting it in writing though.:unsure:

just e mail them back i think ?? as doesnt say anything on the page!!

I did send a message back to accept and soon had one back saying you need to accept or decline by going into the Contracts tab on the RPW page, which is subsequently did , just click on the blue box accept.

anybody accepted the contracts yet?? need letter saying were all under 1 million turnover off accountant now !!!!!!!!!!

You don't need a letter, well not on ours anyway, if there is an inspection will then may need to prove less than £1m t/o.

No had pro forma invoice and emailed it to them refused

Liked the message but don't like it??

Does it need to be a receipted invoice then or just an invoice?

What do you mean by 'pro forma' invoice? I'm sure the guy at Aber said, the machine didn't have to be delivered or paid for. He said an invoice was all that was needed. Didn't he???? :scratchhead:

That was what I understood yes, no proof of payment or receipt need just invoice

For pro forma google helps.......

A pro forma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to buyers describing a shipment of goods in advance of their delivery.

What if they send you the actual invoice before the machine is delivered?

A invoice only
think you can finance a item but they want a copy of agreement
