Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days. We have agreed with a number of suppliers to pay them within 7 days in line with their payment terms Our longest payment terms are with a supplier where we receive goods issued from Germany at 90 days terms. These terms are extended because the goods are issued at the same date as the invoice from the factory in Germany. The time allows for both delivery and then payment hence the larger terms. Overall zen has three key values, one of which is "happy suppliers" where we take great pride in paying our suppliers on time and supporting when necessary where we can.
