How To Find This Information On Your Quote for Cabinet Doors
Your quote for cabinet doors is structured to guide you through the details, starting from the top of the page. Each section ensures you have all the information you need to review your order. Understanding what to look for and the steps to take will help you verify accuracy and avoid surprises.
1. Quote Type
The heading of your quote indicates whether the quote dimensions are Imperial or Metric. Quotes labelled Quote contain Imperial dimensions, while Quote – Metric indicates the quote contains metric dimensions.
Checkpoint: Ensure your quote type matches the measurement system you used when placing your order.
2. General Quote Information
This section includes your business or personal name (the account the quote was entered under), the order name, the shipping address, and the order reference number.
Checkpoint: Verify that the shipping address and order name are accurate. Mistakes in this section could mean your quote has incorrect pricing and, if you proceed with the order, the shipment may ship to the wrong location.
3. Products Overview
This section contains all the products you requested, with detailed specifications.
Checkpoint: Carefully review each product to confirm that every requested item has accurate specifications, including dimensions, wood type, and profiles. Inaccuracies in this section could cause you to receive the wrong product or mean the pricing is incorrect.
4. Pricing Breakdown
Here, you’ll find a breakdown of the costs, including the subtotal, taxes (PST and GST), shipping charges, and total price.
Checkpoint: Make sure the taxes are correct. If your company is PST exempt, or located outside of Saskatchewan, the PST section of your pricing breakdown should read $0.00.
5. Signature Box
This is where you sign and date the quote to confirm your order.
Checkpoint: Don’t sign and send back your quote until you have completed the review and you’re ready for your order to get made.
Taking the time to review each of these elements will give you confidence in your quote and prevent potential delays or errors when your order is processed.
Why Is This Information Included In Your Quote for Cabinet Doors?
At Cutting Edge, we prioritize transparency in our quotes for three key reasons:
- Informed Decision-Making
With clear details, you can confidently compare quotes between suppliers and choose the best option for you. - Ease of Use
We provide the important details so you can ensure you receive the right products. A lack of information leaves you feeling unsure about your order. - Avoiding Surprises
Accurate and detailed quotes minimize unexpected changes down the line. Having the information you need up-front prevents frustration for you and your customers.
We strive to provide accurate pricing on every quote. The pricing you receive is exactly what it says.
However, there are times when you may receive additional charges after your order ships. These are called accessorial charges.
Shipping companies add accessorial charges while your order is in transit, long after we provide you with a quote. While your quote will contain any accessorial charges our team predicts, we aren’t infallible. However, rest assured that we aren’t charging you accessorial charges for no reason. When you receive an accessorial charge after your order ships, the shipping company has already charged us that fee. We don’t add a mark-up; we aren’t making a profit on those fees; we pass them directly on to you.
