Contractor Help to Win the Project

·              We strive to keep our prices as reasonable and competitive as possible, and also to excel with our service for the products we stock and new products customers suggest we add to our product line.

·              Purchasing our items is fast and easy with on online store, with freight prepaid on over 99% of our items.  Non-stock items will often require a deposit, with the balance of payment due before shipment.

·              We are here to support contractors with larger projects requiring time-sensitive support at both quoting and delivery stages.

o   Quotation stage:

§  Provide your quote with special volume pricing on time

§  Protected pricing as needed for each identified project

§  Let us quote our equivalent parts on competitor identified items

§  Your engineered fabrications from small brackets to 50,000 ton ships, fasteners, non-standard finishes or plating, please check with us for competitive pricing and timing you need to win your project.

o   Contractor awarded project stage:

§  Contractor places order for desired items with estimated timing for delivery

§  G-P LLC commits to timing based on project need and item availability

·         Deposits required only for very large orders of stock items and all non-stock items.

o   Payment terms will remain negotiable:

§  Based on our past experience with you, size of the order, type of parts ordered, etc.

o   Logistics support:

§  US distribution locations

·         Grand Rapids, MI – One to two day transit via UPS to most location east of the Mississippi River

§  Asia distribution locations

·         Shanghai, China

·         Xiamen, China

§  Quick and low cost delivery of sea container, less than truck load (LTL), and small package by air or sea to customer’s project locations worldwide with our door-to-door service.

o   Adverse to risk:

§  G-P LLC is very protective of its business dealings

·         G-P LLC (dba Gleason Partners LLC, Gleason Partners LV LLC), TFM Hong Kong Limited, and their owner Thomas E. Gleason are debt free.  We have no interest in taking risks with new customers based solely on large orders.  We will need to ensure we feel safe with any terms we offer and special items made to order that are not readily marketable.

§  Customers need to minimize their risks and manage their cash flow, which is why contractors require progress payments from their customers and have rewards/penalties insuring on-time project completion.  We would like to find a way to protect both of our interests, and make you more competitive by giving you options for sourcing and great project support.  Let us know how we can help!
