in the world under our direction and specifications. All BuilderSource
Branded products carry a full product warranty, along with the BuilderSource
Guarantee of "Right, and On-Time" for delivery.
What we strive for
is the premise of perception of value with all our merchandising programs.
In a world of "you get what you pay for", we strive to surpass expectations in
a optimal balance of quality and price. We want to be very proactive
and fair, with a sense of urgency in handling problems. Making sure there
is support in after sale service, making sure the customer is heard. We recognize
the value of getting it right the first time, and we stand to uphold that
as our Credo in business. Within our system of merchandising we hold our manufacturers to
a high standard
of excellence. It is paramount that our partners stand behind their
products and provide prompt service. We welcome proposals from established companies, as we are
always looking to upgrade and diversify our product lines.
Our fulfillment partners
are in two basic groups:
- Manufacturers that
produce our product and handle fulfillment directly from their facilities to the
customer. These items are: engineered wood products (floor systems,
wall systems and trusses), window, door and cabinetry lines, where
each order
is made-to-order and shipped directly to
the customer from the manufacturer.
- "Break-Bulk" Distributors generally represent a number
of manufacturers, bringing in bulk shipments and parting them out on
an individual order basis. These items are termed "Box"
items, specifically things like: plumbing, electrical
fixtures, electronics, insulation, venting, HVAC, appliances, and tools are handled in this manner.
