OT Getting Paid Canadian Style

Gents+1

I have been doing some work for a Canadian outfit, and their accounts department has started dicking me around over payment. Their payment terms are clear but the detail merchants are mucking about. This is the first time in 15 years that I have had this (outside of developing nations where I always pre-insist on a fence). Before I roll out the big guns, I would like to know whether or not it is standard Canadian practice to dicker over the minor costs (10% ish) in a bill.
In our patch, we pay and caution if the "invisibles" need subsequent justification. Perhaps the northern ice is harder. Doesnt worry me; I just up their bill according the the Visa overdraft rate.

Cheers
