DTE Energy pays all charges related to the procurement of materials according to the terms and conditions of our Purchase Orders. Most DTE Energy Purchase Orders are issued with 3rd Party freight terms and instructions for shipping.

It is our policy to deny all freight charges submitted against Purchase Orders issued with collect freight terms.

DTE Energy values our vendor relationships and recognizes that mistakes and oversights are made from time to time. If you believe your freight charges were denied in error, please proceed below for instructions on submitting a dispute. If your invoice is paid, it may be subject to an administrative fee and payment may be reduced by any transportation cost in excess of DTE Energy normal contracted rates.
