Legal Question in Business Law in North Carolina
A customer has made arrangements for me to drop ship my product when an order comes to them. They send the order to me, I ship the item, and invoice my customer. The problem is, I have had difficulty getting payment from them. I have waited up to 60 days for payment. When I tried to straighten the issue out, my contact said, "just call and remind us and I will see if I can get accounting to pay." I approached the subject from many different aspects, and she still said the same thing. What is my recourse? What is my legal standing?

Any business or franchise attorney will tell you it depends on the terms of your written contract. This is not the type of question that can be answered in the absence of all facts and circumstances. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
