What to send us for a quote

Most enquiries take two or three exchanges before anyone can put a number on paper. Here is what to include so that yours does not.

Send four things: the product and grade, the quantity, the delivery location, and any specification you have to meet. With those we can usually price it in one reply.

1. The product and the grade

Not just ‘zinc sulphate’ but which one. Several of the products we manufacture exist in more than one grade, and the difference is not marginal: zinc sulphate is published at 33% Zn as the monohydrate and 21% Zn as the heptahydrate, and magnesium sulphate spans 20%, 16% and 9.8% magnesium across three grades. A quote against the wrong one is worse than no quote.

If you do not know which grade you need, say what you are making and we will tell you. That is a better use of an email than a guess.

2. The quantity

Give it in the unit you buy in, whether that is kilograms, bags or tonnes. Quantity changes price, so a quote given without one is provisional at best. If you are asking about a trial first and a running quantity afterwards, say both — they are different questions and we would rather answer both than have you compare a trial price against a contract price later.

3. The delivery location

We dispatch from our works at F-32 and F-33, Gallops Industrial Park-II, Sarkhej Bavla Road, N.H. 8A, Rajoda, Changodar, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 382213. Where the material has to get to changes the delivered cost, so a city and state is the minimum. For an export enquiry, the destination country and port.

4. Anything you have to comply with

A customer specification, a tender requirement, an internal standard, a limit on a particular impurity. Send it. We would far rather read it at the enquiry stage and tell you plainly whether we can meet it than discover the mismatch after material has shipped.

What you will get back

A price, the packing, and the documents that travel with the consignment. The signed Material Safety Data Sheet is sent with the quotation, and a batch certificate of analysis travels with the goods.

Things we will not put in a quote

We will not quote a grade we cannot supply, and we will not confirm a specification we have not read. If your requirement is outside what we make, we will say so rather than take the order and work it out afterwards.

You can send all of this through the enquiry form on any page of this site, by WhatsApp or by email. There is a working example on the contact page.

Buying more than one product? Send the full list and we will quote it as one consignment.

Questions buyers ask

What to send us for a quote: frequently asked questions

How quickly will I get a reply?
We reply to enquiries during working hours. If your enquiry has the four items above in it, the reply is usually the quote rather than a request for more information.
Can I get a sample?
Tell us the product and what you need to test, and we will tell you what we can do.
Will you send a safety data sheet before I order?
Yes. The signed MSDS is sent with the quotation. You can also request it on its own from the button on any product page.
Do you quote for export?
Yes. Include the destination country and port, and tell us what your import documentation requires so we can confirm what we are able to issue.
