PRICING GUIDELINES
GUIDELINES FOR PRODUCT PRICING
At Allied Window, our primary concern on every project is to achieve the best balance of three (3) important factors.
| 1. |
FUNCTION - |
What does our product need to do? What needs are related to convenience, service, safety and durability? |
| 2. |
AESTHETICS- |
How can we make it disappear? What needs are related to design, sight lines, installation, color or shape? |
| 3. |
COST - |
How can we minimize the cost? Can the cost be reduced through selective options, value engineering, or simplification? |
The more you understand these pricing guidelines, the better job we can do for you. We have worked to make them as “user-friendly” as possible, but questions are expected and encouraged.
We encourage you to contact us at 1-800-445-5411 to quote your project, or discuss these guidelines. A normal factory quote for products (delivered) includes these four parts:
| 1. |
MATERIAL - |
Standard Products
Model (AOL, etc.)
Design (A, B, C)
Finish (Std./Custom)
Screen
Sizes & Quantities

Typical Product Extras

| 2. |
OTHER- |

|
| 3. |
CRATING - |
Normally $12/unit, but allowances are made for very large or very small units as well as extra material required.
|
| 4. |
SHIPPING - |
Many shipments are made via common carrier, - PREPAID, F.O.B CINCINNATI, OHIO. Inspection and claims for damage are the responsibility of the party receiving the shipment. Call us if you need assistance. Where special delivery is required, fees will be assessed by the common carrier, i.e. lift gate, drayage, etc. Most other shipments are made via our truck, by Allied Window personnel. Some shipments are made by United Parcel Service (UPS).
