Choosing the right polycarbonate supplier (either for large scale applications or small installations and repairs at home) is just as important as choosing the material you will use for construction because this will determine the ease of process and outcome of your project. Check out the following 4Cs to help you decide the polycarbonate supplier suitable for you.
1. Convenience– What sets a supplier apart from other suppliers is convenience. When people are determined to buy the product, the cost does not matter that much because convenience sums up the benefits saved for both time and effort. This means that when you choose a supplier, they should offer most (if not all) products you need, together with variations of the products. If you want to buy a polycarbonate sheet, you should choose a supplier that has a selection of different types of polycarbonate (twin wall polycarbonate, solid polycarbonate, corrugated polycarbonate, etc), together with the available sizes and colors. The location matters too. Finding a store near you not only saves time and effort, it also makes communication easier. The staff at your local store will more likely know more about the geography, the weather conditions, and the logistics in your locale so they can give proper recommendations in case you need one.
2. Cost-Efficiency- While cost may be one of the greatest factors that could sway your opinion, having a quality and reliable building material should matter the most. Strike a balance between the cost, reliability, quality, and service to help you decide if the supplier is the one. Afterall, the lowest price does not necessarily mean the best quality material.
3. Consistency- Check for reviews from previous clients and see what they say about their service and products. While you’re at it, make sure to check both the negatives and positives too. Do they deliver on time? Is their price competitive from other suppliers? How do they handle problems like wrong shipping, returns and installments? Suppliers who have been in the market for more than a decade are an added bonus because reputation builds trust between the clients and suppliers for long run requirements and partnerships.
4. Customer Service– It is easier to trust a supplier who knows so much about their products and can appropriately recommend what works best for your application. They must be able to explain how the product works and have an expertise for your application. If they do, it will be easier for you to know how to handle minor inconveniences, installation problems, and wrong shipments. Good customer service not only shows in their expertise, but also in how they handle customers, including the inquiries and complaints.
