credit/collection department
Credit Department hours are:
7:00 am – 5:00 pm, Mon. – Fri. Mountain Time.
• The Credit/Collection Department establishes all customer
payment terms based on financial information provided on
the Credit Application you submit to us.
• We currently offer the following payment/terms:
– Auto A/R - can use a credit card or checking account for
payment method. Any invoice that has shipped will be
combined with open credits on your account and the net
amount will be charged automatically. This is the most
efficient method because your orders are not reviewed
for credit.
– Open Credit-Prox Terms - can use a checking account for
payment method only - no credit cards. Invoices that are
dated the 1st through the 15th of the month are due on or
before the 10th of the following month. Invoices that are
dated the 16th through the 31st of the month are due on
or before the 25th of the following month. This method is
also efficient as long as you do not have past due invoices.
– Prepay – can use a credit card or checking account. Once you
submit an order, we charge your card or account on file and
release the order. The pre-payment method takes up to 24
hours after placing the order before it is released to the plant.
eInvoicing and eStatements
All invoices are sent via email when the order ships.
For Open Credit-Prox Terms customers, the monthly A/R
statement is also sent via email.
payments
• When paying an invoice, please indicate the customer account
number on the check and include remittance advice to ensure
that your payment is applied accordingly.
• Online billpay may be available. If you’re interested, contact
the Credit Department to discuss.
repairs/remakes and cancellations
repairs
Prior to sending blinds/shades in for repair, please contact
Customer Service to ensure that your repair will be properly
identified and processed. The appropriate information will
be taken and entered into our system and a repair number
will be issued immediately.
– To prevent freight damage, pack blinds securely.
– Please write the repair number on the outside of the box
for easy identification.
– If the product is not returned, the claim will be canceled.
– We will complete the repair within 48 hours of date
received (depending on availability of material).
remakes and requests for credit
To process your request for remakes, please complete the
online remake form here.
Remakes will be scheduled for production and shipment
within 72 hours of the date the claim is approved (excluding
out of stock materials or specialty blinds.)
To process your request for credits, please call or fax
the following information into Customer Service:
– Your original sales order reference number
– Your account number
– The reference number of the blinds(s)/shade(s) for credit
– Detailed reason for the request

returns (may be required for quality purposes)

Authorization (RGA) number for that particular claim and
will help make arrangements for the product on your claim
to be returned.
– For easy identification, please write the RGA number on the
outside of the box.
freight damaged orders
Time is of the essence for orders that are received with Freight Damage. Many carriers will not honor claims that are made later than one week after delivery. Contact Customer Service immediately so that we may issue credit to your account and file a claim with the carrier.
cancellations
Because production may begin as quickly as 4 hours after
receipt of your order, if it is necessary to cancel an order,
please do so immediately.
– Once production has begun, the order cannot be changed
or canceled.
– Once status verification of an order has been determined,
and if production has not started on your order, you will be
issued a “Cancellation Number.” You should keep that
number and the name of the Customer Service
Representative you spoke to on file. Any order without a
cancellation number will be your responsibility.
