Understanding the Procurement Process with Kristin Alvarado Design
At KAD our goal is your Delight.
Our procurement process is tailored to take the stress of purchasing, tracking, managing and receiving your approved fixtures, furnishings and finishes off of your plate and ensuring that your pieces arrive correct and in perfect condition.
How it Works:
When you opt for KAD procurement services, rest assured that the product management of your items is in capable hands and know that every item will be presented to you for approval prior to any purchases being made.
Approval: Once you give us the green light, you will be invoiced for your items at MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price), plus shipping and tax.
Payment: Upon receipt of payment, we'll swiftly proceed to ordering your approved items.
**Note: Should you come across an item at a lower price elsewhere, you are welcome to order this item on your own, just give us a heads-up to avoid any duplication of purchases. We're here to streamline this process for you!
Fee: Procurement services are billed at $125/hr for the sourcing, ordering, tracking and receiving of your approved items and should anything arrive damaged, we will manage the return and replacement of these items. Procurement fees will be included in your monthly invoice.
**Note: Any necessary sourcing of alternate pieces will be billed at the regular design rate of $195/hr.
Inspection Services:
We are required to inspect each item ordered and received within 24 hours of delivery. For your peace of mind, we offer two options for inspecting received items:
Client Inspection: You may choose to inspect the items yourself (if delivered to your location) and update our team on their status within 24 hours of delivery.
