We supply on a request-for-quote basis. This lets us confirm availability, grade and lot data before you commit, and quote the Incoterm and packaging that suit your shipment. The process has eight steps.
- Search the catalogue. Find products by name, synonym, CAS number or catalogue number. Each product page shows the available grades and typical pack sizes.
- Add to your quote basket. Choose the grade and pack size, enter the quantity, and add as many products as you need. If something is not listed, add a free-text line describing it.
- Submit your RFQ. Give your organisation name, delivery country, preferred Incoterm and any specification or documentation requirements. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Receive a quotation. We reply by email with price, availability, lead time, packing, shipping terms and quotation validity. Where a product can only be offered in a different grade or pack, we say so clearly.
- Proforma invoice. When you accept the quotation, or send a purchase order, we issue a proforma invoice confirming the final quantities, prices, bank details and delivery terms.
- Payment. We accept telegraphic transfer (TT) and, for larger orders, irrevocable letters of credit (LC) opened through a recognised bank. Payment terms are stated on the proforma invoice.
- Dispatch. Goods are packed, labelled and dispatched according to the agreed terms. You receive the tracking number or shipping details on dispatch.
- Documents. The Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet, commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents are emailed to you and accompany the shipment. Originals required for customs or an LC are sent by courier where necessary.
Tips for a faster quotation
- Include the CAS number, since product names vary between suppliers.
- State the grade or attach your specification if it matters for your application.
- Tell us the destination country and whether the goods are for research, analytical or production use.
- For regulated or controlled products, expect us to ask for end-use information.
