PRICING

Honest pricing, no hidden margins

We don't take rebates from factories. The factory quote you see is the price we paid — our fee is stated separately, every time.

Most common
Commission-based
5% of FOB factory price
$800 minimum for full-service orders

Best for: first-time orders, infrastructure projects, or ongoing supply relationships from around $20,000 FOB. The 5% covers HausPipes coordination from factory search to delivery after engagement is confirmed; third-party and travel costs are itemized separately.

  • Manufacturer research & shortlisting
  • Factory audit before factory deposit (first order)
  • Price negotiation & PO drafting
  • Production tracking (10% / 50% / 90%)
  • Buyer-side pre-shipment inspection coordination
  • Logistics & documentation coordination
One-off services
Project-based
Fixed per engagement
From $200 per service

Best for: smaller trial orders, standalone audits, single inspection visits, or logistics-only coordination.

  • Factory audit: $300–600
  • Pre-shipment inspection: $200–400
  • Supplier research & shortlist: $300–$1,000
  • Logistics coordination: from $200
Long-term clients
Monthly retainer
$1,200–2,500 per month
Minimum 3-month commitment

Best for: distributors or contractors placing multiple orders per quarter who want ongoing buyer-side management after direct factory contact is established.

  • Priority response (same business day)
  • 2 free inspections per month
  • Monthly factory performance report
  • Reduced commission rate (4%)

Third-party lab testing, accredited inspection bodies, certification fees, extra factories or batches, and travel outside the agreed service area are billed at cost unless included in a written proposal, and confirmed before that work starts. HausPipes buyer-side coordination is included in commission engagements.

Common questions

What is the minimum order value? +

Full-service commission work usually makes sense from around $20,000 FOB order value. Below that, the $800 minimum service fee, factory audit, and third-party inspection costs usually make a fixed-scope service more practical. For sample or trial orders, the practical floor is around 2,000 metres, depending on DN size.

Can I see factory quotes before committing? +

Yes. Every proposal includes itemized factory quotes and our fee separately. You see exactly what the factory charges and what we charge.

Do you only source HDPE pipes? +

Our core focus is HDPE and PVC pipe. We also source steel pipe and steel wire composite pipe on request. We don't source commoditized plumbing fittings or non-pipe products.

Can you handle small quantities like a single container? +

Yes. Many clients are contractors sourcing 1–2 containers for a single project. How much pipe fits in a container depends heavily on DN size — DN110 loads around 3,700–4,700m per 40'HC, while DN400 loads only 225–300m. Contact us with your spec and we'll advise on realistic order sizing.

What certifications can you verify? +

ISO 4427, ISO 4437 (gas), CE marking for the EU, AS/NZS 4130 (Australia/NZ), and BS EN 12201 (UK). We verify the certificate against the issuing body's database, not just the document.
