Settlement
Payment and paperwork.
How and when a lot is paid for, what documents the desk needs, and how a weight ticket and a bill of sale protect both sides.

Send the reel list. A buyer reads it.
Six details are enough to start. Tags and photos can follow by text or email once a buyer has looked at the basics.
- A buyer reviews the lot: construction, footage and condition, not only metal weight
- Copper and aluminium, 600 V building wire through 345 kV cable
- Full reels, partial reels, cut lengths, pallets and truckloads
- No fee, no obligation, and no automatic pickup
Reel list · Payment
Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
Payment follows the weight ticket, not the estimate. Terms are agreed before the truck arrives so there is no negotiation at the tailgate with a forklift idling.
Facilities, utilities and contractors each need different paperwork. Sending it with the reel list is the difference between a fast lot and a slow one.
01
What gets paid, and on what basis
A lot is bought either on documented footage or on weighed material, and the terms say which. Documented lots settle against the reel count and footage recorded at pickup. Weighed lots settle against a certified scale ticket.
Where the weight differs from the estimate by more than the agreed tolerance, the settlement moves with the ticket. That is not a renegotiation, it is the basis the terms set out.
02
Documents we ask for
For a straightforward commercial lot, a bill of sale and a weight ticket are enough. For anything from a facility, a utility or a bonded job, the list grows.
- Bill of sale, signed at pickup, transferring title
- Certified weight ticket from the scale
- W-9 for vendor setup
- Purchase order or disposal approval reference
- De-energisation or removal record for medium voltage and above
- Manifest or transfer documentation where the seller's process requires it
03
When payment is made
Terms are stated in the written lot agreement before collection. Depending on the seller, that is settlement at pickup or settlement after the weight ticket is processed.
Nothing about the process requires bank details before terms are agreed, and no legitimate step in buying a lot asks for a payment from the seller. If a message claims otherwise, it is not from this desk.
04
Why the paperwork matters to the seller
A bill of sale with the construction, quantity and condition recorded is the seller's protection. It proves what left the yard, which matters in an audit, a bonded job closeout or a base contract review.
It also protects against the most common dispute in this trade: a lot described as one thing and found to be another. Written terms and loading photographs settle that in minutes instead of weeks.
Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
Can you pay by check, ACH or wire?
Whichever the agreed terms specify. Facilities and utilities normally require ACH against a purchase order; smaller commercial lots are often settled by check at pickup.
Do you need my bank details to quote a lot?
No. A quote needs the material, the quantity and the location. Payment details are only discussed once terms are agreed and only for receiving payment.
What if my company requires a vendor form?
Send it with the reel list. Vendor setup runs alongside the lot review, so the paperwork is not what holds up the truck.
Is a weight ticket enough for my accounting department?
Usually. If they need more, the bill of sale carries the description and the agreed basis, and loading photographs are available on request.
