Inspection, freight, return terms and total acquisition cost. Use this guide to research equipment condition and compatibility, not to assume current local stock.
Before contacting a supplier

- Locate the OEM part number or parts diagram and verify supersessions.
- Compare new, remanufactured, aftermarket and used choices with their differing warranties.
- Ask for photographs, wear measurements and testing documentation.
- Calculate freight, core charges, installation time and possible downtime.
- Request written terms for returns, deposits and shipping damage.
