These services are ones related to the products and processes requested by our customers. When filling out a quotation, please let us know which additional services you require so we can fulfill your needs. Additional fees for services requested after shipment and for expediting results may apply. Get a detailed list of charges for additional services by going to our shipping focused webpage here.
Q: Is freight included in our price?
A: Freight is not included in our price. Our pricing is FOB Factory, Freight Collect.
Q: Why am I charged a surcharge?
A: Similar to all manufacturers, we negotiate raw material prices as far in advance as possible. However, fluctuations in the metals markets necessitate that steel mills pass along certain costs to us related to the alloys used in the manufacture of steel.
Q: How do we price our products?
A: Our cable products are sold in linear increments (feet, meters). Our wire is sold by weight (pounds, kilograms).
