Explanation,
Terms & Conditions
As the industry leader in Work Station Cranes, Gorbel is pleased to
announce our new, “If It’s Late, We’ll Pay the Freight”
program. This program can be applied to any order for Gorbel crane
systems, including work station bridge cranes, I-beam style jib cranes,
motorized jibs, WSJ’s and all “quick
ship” orders. With this program, if we don’t have an
order ready to ship on or before the scheduled ship date, we will
credit the distributor's account at time of shipment an amount equivalent
to the going rate for the freight (by averaging the rates of our two
best regional carriers at the appropriate freight classification and
using a 50% discount rate).
Delivery often presents itself as one of the most critical components
of the sale. Being in a position to guarantee shipment is a great
way to improve the odds of landing an order.
How
can Gorbel afford to offer this program?
We can afford to offer this powerful sales tool because we don’t
intend to be late in the first place. Some facts you may or may not
know about Gorbel’s shipping track record:
- We have averaged 99.4% on-time shipments for the past 5 years in
a row. Note: only 2% of all North American manufacturers ship 98%
on-time, which puts Gorbel in the “world class” category
- Average days late on late orders is a mere 2.4 days
- Most Gorbel cranes are shipped in 5 working days or less
