FAQ

Using These Guides

Who writes these guides

They are written from our own sourcing experience with the factories we work with, and reviewed against the specifications we quote every week.

Do the guides cover pricing

They cover what drives cost - material, tolerance, finish, volume, certification and shipping - rather than a fixed price, because price only becomes real once a specification is fixed.

Can you help after I have read a guide

Yes. Send the specification and the guide topic and we will match it to a factory and quote it.

How often are the guides updated

They are revised when the underlying sourcing practice changes, for example when a certification or export documentation requirement changes.

Can you write about a topic that is missing

Tell us what you are buying and we will cover the selection and inspection points for it in the next guide.

Ask a Question These Guides Do Not Cover

Send the question with your drawing or specification and you will get an answer from someone who has bought the same thing before.
