The payment terms provided do not allow a buyer to retain part of a teapot order payment while waiting to verify shipping documents. They require payment in full before shipment, or, for large orders, a 50% deposit followed by payment of the remaining balance before shipment.
Gold Spark Global Sourcing Co., Ltd. lists bank foreign exchange transfer as its payment method. The terms describe when payment is due in relation to shipment; they do not set out a process for reviewing or approving shipping documents.
The supplied information does not identify which shipping documents must be presented, establish a review period, or state that any portion of the balance may be withheld until documents are confirmed. The large-order deposit option also does not make the remaining payment due after shipment; the stated condition is that the balance be paid beforehand.
If you need payment to depend on document review, ask the seller to agree to that arrangement in writing before you place your order. Do not assume it is included in the published terms.
| Payment detail | Published term | Hold pending document review |
|---|---|---|
| Payment method | Bank foreign exchange transfer | Not specified |
| Standard order | Full payment before shipment | Not provided |
| Large order | 50% deposit; balance before shipment | Not provided |
| Teapot-specific arrangement | No separate terms listed | Request written confirmation |
May I keep part of the teapot payment until shipping documents are verified?
Not under the terms provided. They do not authorize a document-based hold, and the balance is stated to be due before shipment.
Does paying a 50% deposit mean the remaining amount is due after shipment?
No. For the large-order option, the stated term requires the balance before shipment.
How can I arrange payment after document review?
Ask the seller to confirm the requested condition in writing before ordering. The available information does not include such an arrangement.
Plan on paying in full before shipment, or use the stated large-order option of a 50% deposit with the balance paid before shipment. If you require shipping documents to be confirmed before releasing part of the payment, obtain the seller's written agreement in advance.
