Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between FOB mill and delivered?

FOB mill means the buyer takes ownership and responsibility for freight once the goods leave your mill. Delivered means you, the seller, are responsible for shipping and risk until the goods arrive. This affects who pays for freight and when risk transfers.

How do I calculate board feet for the invoice?

Board feet is calculated as (thickness in inches × width in inches × length in feet) / 12. For example, a 2x4 that is 8 feet long is (2 × 4 × 8) / 12 = 5.33 board feet. Always state the unit of measure on your invoice to avoid confusion.

Should I include the customer's PO number?

Yes, if the customer provided a purchase order number, include it on the invoice. This helps the customer match the invoice to their internal records and can speed up payment processing.
