We do not maintain any such criteria as no order is small or big for us. However, considering the freight charge structure, overall cost of a small consignment is more than any usual size of consignment.
Q. What are the terms of payment?
We have very simple terms of payment for client's convenience, such as:
PRE-PAYMENT: This is one of the most ideal mode of payment for smaller orders. Along with being convenient it also minimizes bank charges. Payment through bank drafts / cheques drawn in the name of Apothecaries' Sundries Mfg. Co. is accepted by us. However, transfer to our Bank account is more convenient and faster
ADVANCE PAYMENT IN PART : For larger orders, client may place the order with an advance payment of 25%. And the balance will be paid through a designated bank against the delivery of documents. The customer needs to pay the bank charges.
LETTER OF CREDIT: Irrevocable L/C is the best way of payment - wherein the customer pays all bank charges, excluding our bank charges.

The bank details are as follows:
Bank of India
Kirti Nagar,

Q. What are the freight charges?
The modes of shipment we prefer are Sea Freight and Air Freight. However, we also ship orders through Post parcels, Couriers etc., as per the specific instructions received from customers.
