Some products in high demand have lead times. This gives buyers the ability to purchase high demand products efficiently.
Products with a lead time can be purchased today, and then picked up at the time frame specified in the listing. A StoneLoads team member will connect with you once the load is ready to ensure excellent communication and that you're getting everything you need.
We built StoneLoads around a simple concept, make it easier to buy natural stone. We started with high availability products that quarries had in inventory and ready to ship today. This remains a great tool for many products but we have struggled to keep enough high demand product on StoneLoads because this material isn't on the ground and ready to go. In our industry we often call this "getting in line."
Offering products with a lead time will allow buyers to "get in line" with suppliers on their high demand products.
Will this be available for all suppliers?
No. When we open the door to lead times, this brings another level of trust into the transaction. We will only allow certain suppliers that we have vetted and built strong relationships with to offer products with lead times. This way, you can feel confident your product will be ready when your truck arrives to pick it up.
