Before you send it
What sources well, and what doesn't
Factory sourcing saves the most on standard items bought in volume. We'll tell you up front if yours isn't a fit.
Good fit
- Used on every project or reordered often
- Standard sizes and specs
- Durable goods that don't expire
- Bought by the case, carton or bundle
- Spec allows "or equal"
Not a fit
- Same-day or emergency parts
- One brand only, no substitutes
- Listed items without a certificate we can show you
- Single pieces where freight eats the savings

Questions
Before you order
How long do factory orders take?
Usually 6 to 12 weeks door to door, depending on the product and ocean freight. Every quote states its lead time, so you can plan the order ahead of when you need it.
Is there a minimum order?
Factory orders have minimums, often a carton, bundle or pallet. The minimum is on the quote, and where it helps we combine your order with other contractors ordering the same item.
Do you keep stock?
No. We order from the factory for your quote, which is how the price comes in lower.
Can you match a specific brand?
We quote equivalents built to the same spec: size, thread, material and rating. If your job spec names one brand with no substitutes, we'll say so instead of quoting something that won't pass.
Do you charge sales tax?
Texas sales tax applies unless you give us a Texas resale or exemption certificate.
