How an Order Works: One Quote, One PO, One Invoice
We are a trading company. You order from us, a partner shop cuts the part, and we inspect and ship it. This page shows each step and who is responsible for it.
Six steps
- 1. You
RFQ
Drawing, material and hardness, quantity, date.
- 2. Us
Review and quote
Drawing review and one written quote within 24 business hours. The quote states price, lead time, country of manufacture and any feature we cannot cut as drawn.
- 3. You
Purchase order
One PO to us. We confirm it with the delivery date.
- 4. Partner shop
Cutting
A shop in our network with the right machine and wire cuts the part to the reviewed drawing.
- 5. Us
Inspection
We measure the part against the drawing before it is packed.
- 6. Us
Shipping and invoice
We pack, ship with our documents and send one invoice.

Why buy through a trading company
A wire EDM shop is good at cutting. Many are not set up to review foreign drawings, quote in English within a day or ship abroad with the right documents. We do those parts and leave the cutting to the shop.
How we are paid
Our margin is in the quoted price. There is no separate fee, and the shop does not bill you.
