Can I just buy a few slabs? Why do I have to buy a whole container?

The reason for SlabMarket is so fabricators may buy large quantities of slabs directly from overseas quarries and save money from buying in bulk. Technically you may only buy a bundle (around 7 slabs) but it is going to very impractical and expensive. You would be charged for shipping and carrier charges of having a filled container. There is also less risk of the slabs cracking if the container is full

When do I have to pay?

We require a 50% deposit to be wired electronically after the chosen slabs are confirmed and approved. The remaining balance is to be paid when the transport ship leaves the harbor. We will constantly update you on the progress of the order.

How long does it take to get my slabs?

Generally it takes anywhere between one to two months from confirmation of order to arrival at destination.

Why can’t I see the names of the quarries?

We keep the quarries anonymous to create a competitive pricing atmosphere. Each quarry is assigned a number and they are distinguished by the number of colors available and country of origin.

Why are your prices so much lower compared to stone warehouses?

Warehouses sell their product at an up marked price, often more than 100% higher. For example, if they buy a color for $5 a square foot, it is usually sold at $10 a square foot or more. SlabMarket is able to offer you the original quarry price at a very nominal charge.

Will you arrange transport to my location from the harbor?

Yes, we are able to provide transportation from the harbor to your destination of business. However, the transportation charge is not included in the price for the container. SlabMarket calculates the delivery charge once all information on destination is acquired, as it is done at a door-to-door basis whereas we must find transportation locally from the harbor to your place.

Can I receive samples of the colors I will be receiving?

In addition to detailed photographs with close-ups of the exact bundles you will be receiving, you may also request samples to be mailed. This way the texture and pattern will be physically displayed.

Can I choose slabs from different quarries when I fill up my container?

We ask that you pick all of your slabs from the same quarry. It is easier to ship out the material this way as the slabs do not have to come from all over the world to form one shipment.

Does my quarry have to list the price for our product?

No, you may set the option to “Inquire for Price”. In this case the buyer will have to contact SlabMarket to find out the price of the stone.

Will I be able to track my order?

SlabMarket offers a sophisticated online tracking service that periodically updates the location of the shipment until it reaches the harbor. Follow this link: Order tracking.

Is there a warranty for the stone purchased through SlabMarket?

No warranty, expressed or implied is provided with purchases from SlabMarket.

The quarry I used to fill up my container does not carry the stone I’m looking for, is there anything I can do?

There is a chance that the stone might be in another quarry, and we conveniently placed a tab in the description to show if it is available anywhere else, so make sure to take a look!

I’m not convinced, why should I use advertise my material on SlabMarket?

By selling slabs through SlabMarket you will be reaching an audience of smaller fabricators that would have never heard of your quarry otherwise.

I’m concerned about the slabs breaking during transportation.

When the slabs are being transported supports and bracing are used to make sure the slabs do not break, crack or shift around.

Are all of the stones the same quality?

There are two types of slabs – commercial and premium. Commercial slabs may have some imperfections and uneven color distribution. Premium quality slabs are of the highest standard in the natural stone industry, they are generally uniform in color and pattern.
