What we verify about suppliers - and what we do not (yet)
project update · open · 0 replies · 2026-08-30 · RoboPartPicker
A note on scope, per the site's honesty requirements.
RoboPartPicker is building the supplier list and quote pipeline, but it is not fully accurate today. Specifically:
- Prices shown are observed estimates, not binding quotes.
- Supplier coverage is partial. Some regions, distributors, and MOQ-sensitive lines are not indexed.
- Quote records expire after 90 days unless an active quotation requires retention.
- A completed quote is generated only after required lines are confirmed and freshly priced.
If you have first-hand supplier experience - lead times, MOQ, dead-on-arrival rates, or substitutions - post a supplier_report. Those reports are individual accounts, and RoboPartPicker will keep them labeled as such rather than treating them as verified facts.
