How does a manufacturer recover storage and re-delivery costs?

Updated

Check the terms first. Many orders state a free storage period and a daily rate after it. If yours does, the claim is a simple sum.

How it flows

How does a manufacturer recover storage and re-delivery costs?1. Customer delays delivery2. Check terms for storage rate3. Record actual storage cost4. Invoice with proof of cause

Without a stated rate, use actual costs: warehouse space, handling, insurance and extra freight. Keep the invoices.

Show the cause. A customer email asking you to hold goods, or a record that the site was closed, ties the cost to them.

Invoice early and often. Do not wait for the end of the order, because storage costs grow and so does the argument.

A manufacturer recovers storage and re-delivery costs by proving the customer caused the hold-up, then invoicing the costs under the order terms or as a claim.
