Oh am I ever miffed...maybe you guys can help out...
Sold some surplus electrical parts to a big company, pretty hard/expensive to find new. I sent them in with the understanding I send the parts, then an invoice (For a total of $110), then get a check.
The guy said he got the parts, and I e-mailed the acounts dept. an invoice. Didn't hear anything back so I e-mailed them again asking if they got it, is there a problem, etc.
Yesterday I got an e-mail from another person I need to fill out a W-9 (appilcation for taxpayer ID) in order for them to process the invoice. Call this morning, and that person is out till Monday. Talked to another one and she said its a standrard policy for the W-9 to be filled out on sales over $600 in case they get audited, need one filled out or they will charge ME tax!!! I'll need to fill one out, get setup with as a vendor, all for $110 bill, and more than likely this is a one time sale, so I won't be approaching the $600 limit!
Okay they have my parts and I need money-any ideas? I have a bad feeling about this, we have sent invoices out to companies before (including the gov't) well over $600 and never had to fill out a W-9...I sure hope this is not run around in order to avoid paying me!
Thanks!
