The pricing structure is as follows:
Once a supplier is selected and the quoting
process starts with them, your fixed cost is $299 per month per supplier. This small fee acts as a
token of commitment for each quote requested and will serve to cover only local operating costs
ie, trips to visit suppliers and office expenses. There is no limitation in number of products
to quote with each supplier simultaneously, but some extra delay could occur in the quoting and samples
making process depending on the supplier.
- After the product samples are received and approved by you and your first purchase
order is placed, the monthly fixed cost with that particular supplier ends (no matter if
other products are still being quoted). Then you pay only a 3% commission based on the
C&F value of each paid container. Monthly fees and commissions are due as payment for a
local service in Chile. Commissions must be honored in time as long as any products are bought
from each supplier.
The commission amount represents always a small percentage of the total savings you obtain
for each product by operating though our service (app. 10% of your expected savings).
This pricing structure has proven effective in practice. The fixed monthly fee will
promote your diligence during the quoting process by providing promptly with all
product specifications and samples. The suppliers diligence is guaranteed by the 10
days maximum delay to quote, as an up front condition to bid, and finally our diligence
is guaranteed with the fact that our professional service will have no compensation
(monthly fee only cover operating costs) until you start buying and products are effectively paid.
