Can I connect to any distributor?
You may connect to any distributor who agrees to connect to you through NetPricer.

What if my favorite distributor isn't already connected to NetPricer?
We will contact the distributor on your behalf and provide them with all the necessary information on how they can provide their pricing to you through NetPricer, however you as their customer will have the greatest influence over their willingness to participate.

How do I pay you?
We accept all major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, AMEX & Discover). You may also prepay by check. If paying by check you must pay for a year in advance. Your account will be charged on a monthly basis if paying by credit card unless you request to prepay via credit card or check.

Does my distributor have to pay something too?
Yes, there is a flat monthly fee to the distributor. If your distributor is already connected to NetPricer there is no additional charge to add you.

What type of Internet connection do I need?
Any internet connect will do but the faster the speed the better response you will get back from NetPricer.

Do I need to install additional software from NetPricer on my computer?
No. NetPricer is built into participating estimating software packages and is accessed through these packages with no additional software to load or access.

What happens if my material list includes products not carried by my distributor?
NetPricer can only provide you with pricing for products that your distributor feeds to us on your behalf. You will need to consult with your distributor if you would like them to provide additional pricing information in the future.

Can I connect to pricing from more than one distributor?
Yes, each additional connection costs $10.00 per month in addition to the initial $25.00 charge for a single distributor connection.

What affects NetPricer's ability to price everything in my material list?
There are a number of issues that could affect your ability to price an item. One is if the distributor does not carry that specific item. If a particular distributor you're connecting to does not carry the specific catalog number from the manufacturer in your material list, NetPricer will attempt to cross-reference it to a like-item that is available from that distributor. In some instances your first pricing attempts may uncover inconsistencies between the data you are submitting and the distributor's data. By bringing this to the attention of your distributor we can usually clear up these inconsistencies following your initial pricing attempts.

Can you help me to get some type of "market pricing" even if my favorite distributors won't connect with me through NetPricer?
Yes. NetPricer has a National NetPricer Market Pricing option that can be offered to you. Since this is a general national market price the pricing will likely be somewhat higher than you would receive from your local distributor. Most estimating software packages allow you to adjust or fine tune the pricing if you choose.

How long does it take to get connected once I've submitted a contract for the service?
This depends mainly on you and your distributor. If you have a good relationship and do a significant amount of business with your distributor, chances are they will approve your NetPricer connection quickly. If you do not already have a relationship or buy very little from the distributor they may want to review your account. This could impact how quickly your NetPricer connection takes to set up.
