How pricing works

You see the factory's number and you pay the factory's number. Our fee is charged to you, separately and visibly, for the work we do.

What that means

  • It is not a percentage on the order.

    Our fee pays for the work we do on your run, so it does not grow because your bill of materials is expensive.

  • The factory price passes through at cost.

    You pay what the factory quoted. Nothing is hidden in the spread.

  • Quoting is free and carries no obligation.

    A quote is not a commitment, and a scoping conversation does not become a paid engagement.

Getting a number for your product

It depends on your product, so we will not invent a number. Send a bill of materials and rough specs and we will come back with a real quote, no charge and no obligation either way. You will see the factory price and our fee as two separate lines.

The fee amount depends on the product. It is shown on every quote, in full, before you commit to anything.

How the two lines look on a quote

This is the shape of the commercial summary, not a quote for any product. Your own quote carries the amounts in these places.

Quoted factory subtotal

Maglev fee

Quoted subtotal including fee

The quote in your workspace uses these same labels, so what you read here is what you will read there.
