At Copper and Brass Sales, we are dedicated to providing you with innovative solutions that streamline your metal purchasing process. The materialsPLUS.com website is packed with unique capabilities designed to set us apart from the competition and make your experience easier and more efficient. Uncover how we can make your metal purchasing process smoother, quicker, and more rewarding. There are features that you’ll find on our website that you won’t find with the competition. Each and every feature of the website was driven by customer feedback, which we expect you’ll be able to relate to through our three favorite features: the ability to determine quantity price breaks, submit counteroffers online, and determine the mill source or preview MTRs online before you buy.

1. Quantity Price Breaks for Online Metal Purchases

Getting the best deals on orders can be tricky, especially when you’re trying to price bulk orders. Our website makes it a breeze. Users at materialsPLUS.com have the advantage of accessing the most competitive pricing for bulk purchases by finding a product and then updating with multiple quantities on the product page to determine the optimal quantity to see the best price in their cart. This feature is invaluable for planning and budgeting, offering transparency and allowing customers to make informed purchasing decisions. Through this feature you can gain insight into how scaling order quantities can lead to substantial savings, aligning cost efficiency with your own procurement strategies. Perhaps you want to purchase metal for multiple projects in bulk instead of purchasing separately for each project. It’s a great way to discover savings!

2. Submit Counteroffers Online Before Ordering Metal

Negotiating over prices can sometimes feel like it takes up your entire day, playing phone tag or having to send emails back and forth. materialsPLUS.com has an innovative feature that simplifies this through process through the online counteroffer submission tool in our shopping cart. This innovative tool enables users to engage in price negotiations directly with their sales representative via the platform, omitting the need for traditional phone calls. This digital approach makes the negotiation process not only quicker but also more convenient.
