Our Service
CIF service commitment to our valued customers ensures a reliable product at a competitive price. Our goal is to satisfy our customer’s quality specifications and delivery requirements. We strive to be responsive to “hot” rush orders and emergency needs. At CIF we have built our business by “under promising and over delivering” high quality hardware and special machined parts to our customers worldwide.

Quality & Service – we try harder and want to serve you better!

Shipping
Shipping is the final effort at our facility and we have the necessary infrastructure to provide and support an efficient process.  Special packaging, shrink wrapping, palletizing, pallet boxes makes CIF your best option. We take great pride in our shipping department to make sure the right parts are shipped on time to our customers. We remain flexible and select preferred transport companies in order to extend the lowest rates possible.

We attempt to do everything possible to ensure that you receive the parts in the same condition they were in when they shipped from our facility. We carefully package parts that have delicate threads or have special finishes with thread protectors. We recently upgraded our boxes to 44 ECT, in order to decrease the risk of broken boxes and lost parts. Sounds like a minor issue, but if you order 50 pieces and only receive 46, and the other 4 are rolling around in a freight truck, everyone suffers.
