Because aluminum is priced against the daily ingot price — so I build your quote transparently and tell you exactly how it adjusts.

How is your price built, and how long is a quotation valid?
My price = ingot cost + extrusion + finishing + processing; it tracks the daily ingot price, and I confirm validity on each quote.
Is your quote linked to the aluminum ingot price — what is the adjustment mechanism?
Yes. My price is linked to the aluminum ingot price, so it floats with the daily rate. I quote on the ingot price of that day, and if the ingot moves before your order, we adjust the metal portion up or down accordingly. I always state this mechanism clearly in the quotation, so you know the processing and finishing costs are fixed and only the raw-metal portion moves. This keeps pricing fair for both of us.
How are processing and finishing costs itemized? Do you offer tiered pricing?
I itemize extrusion, cutting, CNC or milling, and finishing separately, so you can see exactly where the money goes and remove or add steps to control cost. I do offer tiered pricing — larger quantities lower the per-unit extrusion and finishing cost, and the die fee is refunded once you reach 5 tons. When you send me a drawing and target quantity, I return a line-by-line quotation so you can compare options.
Do you offer FOB, CIF, or DDP terms?
Yes — I can quote EXW, FOB, CIF, or DDP, whichever suits your logistics and destination. FOB is the most common for first orders; CIF lets us arrange freight and insurance; DDP puts the goods at your door with duties handled. Tell me your port or final address and I will price all the relevant terms side by side, so you can choose the lowest total landed cost.
