QUOTATIONS

When supplying from England we normally quote in GBP and from Italy and the rest of Europe we normally quote in Euro, as this means we do not have to allow for exchange rate fluctuation. If prices are insisted on in another currency we have to increase the prices by a few percent to cover exchange rate fluctuations.

Being between the manufacturer and the importer, we understand perfectly well that every penny or cent counts when it comes to setting prices as an importer, so we take care to keep our margins minimal and ensure the best value for our clients; when we see customers purchases increase from sample quantities to multiple containers per month, this is where our service to you becomes viable even at single digit margins.

It is also true that many Italian companies will sell locally at lower prices than they would to overseas importers, as so much manufacturing is going on locally that they would not sell at home at all at high prices – due to our position in the market we are able to pass these savings on to our customers to their long-term advantage.
