How to place an order?
Dealers can place orders by calling our toll free number. An SMF Representative will take the order by phone.
An order can also be placed with the help of an SMF Sales Representative in your territory. In this case he/she will use an “ Order Form ” , which will be faxed to SMF once completed.
Once the order information is received at SMF headquarters, either via fax or phone, SMF will put all the information provided in our " Purchase Order Form " (POF). This form will be faxed to the customer for his/her review in order to receive confirmation of the order specifications. The POF will be faxed no later than 1 business day after reception of the order via fax/phone at SMF headquarters.
The POF form has to be faxed back to SMF signed and with the payment information clearly written. If there is a mistake in the form, the dealer can make the correction by hand using the same form.
SMF will start manufacturing only when the POF is received signed and filled with the payment information. It is the customers responsibility to fax the form back to SMF ASAP.

All the invoicing and payment process is carried by San Marcos Frames Co. our American sister Company. SMF will provide all of our customers with an original invoice inside an envelope within the box/crate of the shipped product. This envelope will have an “Important Information Enclosed” mark.
Please keep in mind that when shippments are made directly from our manufacturing facilities in Colombia to your address, you will receive another invoice from C.I San Marcos Ltda., our Colombian sister company. This invoice will be handed to you by the selected freight company, which in most cases will be DHL. This invoice will always be of less value than your invoice. Please ignore this invoice, since it is only for customs purposes in the export – import process of the merchandise.
Why is my invoice different from the invoice I receive from the freight company?
These situation only occurs when the the shipment is send directly from our manufacturing facilities located overseas to your shop. In order to be able to bill and receive payments, besides of other important activities wthin the U.S, we had established a sister Company called San Marcos Frames Co. in the state of Florida which purchases from C.I San Marcos Ltda. and resells/distributes the product to customers as you with a small margin.
