Questions we are asked
- How do you price and quote?
Per line, in USD, CAD or EUR, with condition, lead time and origin stated. Validity to your tender terms. No price is ever shown on the website; every quotation is prepared by an engineer for your engine and destination.
- What if a part number is wrong or obsolete?
We say so before quoting, propose the current reference or a qualified alternative, and note the reason in writing so your file shows why.
- Can you hold stock for a fleet?
For recurring customers we agree a standing list with lead times and a consolidation cadence, so urgent items ship within days and bulk items by sea on schedule.
