Eligible first orders may receive up to 3%
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements. Final savings depend on supplier confirmation, product type and order value.
Turn an epdm rubber roof search into one request several factories can quote on the same line. Density in g/cc has to be fixed before the request is sent; packing and documents are quantity-driven.
The shortest request a supplier can still quote from names form (sheet, roll or compound), thickness or width, Shore A or Shore D, density in g/cc, quantity and US destination. “Roof” without those axes is a search string, not a line item. EPDM Rubber Sourcing copies that list to more than one factory.
Density in g/cc changes weight, packing and sometimes the quoted grade. Leave it blank and two factories will silently pick different defaults. This step is one-off per configuration; repeating it on every carton is not required once the factory writes the value back.
Quantity, packing (pallet versus roll) and Incoterms scale with the lot. Sample approval, a named ASTM method and food-contact or automotive files are one-off until the configuration changes. Mixing the two groups makes unit prices look comparable when they are not.
We lay specification, documents, packing and delivery window side by side. We do not recast a unit cell as a market-beating percentage. A plant certificate does not stand in for a lot test on the quoted epdm rubber roof construction.
