We are production company at first, so we seek for local resellers. This strategy is due to cost of transportation that is quite good if we ship many items at one time, and may be a problem when we send You just eg. one ballast mast. But yes, we do sell small quantities and single copies through the whole Europe. In some markets our base prices are so attractive that even relatively high transportation cost lets us keep our competitive edge.
1. Small items (less than 2 meters in lenght, less than 15 kgs in weight) are sent with UPS or DPD services (depending who ofers best deal on certain shipment). Standard cost for one 2 meters section of M400 mast is around 55 Euros to most locations. Brackets, anetna holders and small accessories are normally 15-20 Euros.
2. Mid sized loads are shipped via online dispatch markets (that match loads with free spaces in participating trucks). We use for that Timo.com, Clicktrans.pl and many others. Usually it is around 200 – 300 Euros for a M400-20 mast or T500-16 tower. It varies on occasion and destination (popular ones get better deals)
3. Big loads (10-30 M400-16 masts) are shipped either by our own Van (we have VW Crafters 19 cubic meters + trailer that doubles the load) or by rented lorry (108 cubic meters or more). Our own transport costs around 0,6 Euro one way (Warsaw to your destination) and we can then install the product at your site. Lorry is around 1-1,20 Euros
Time: It usually takes 3-4 days to catch a good deal for dispatch. If time matters then we suggest Altruss VAN option.
Definitely yes. We are all EU now – so export/import is easier than ever. No VAT in export, unified invoices, PayPal or SWIFT payments mean we can exchange cash for goods as quickly and comfortably as in our local grocery market. Never tried to import? Now it’s a good time!
Altruss speaks English, Russian, Polish, German – so there is big chance we will not be lost in translation. Okay you do not feel comfortably to speak English (I know you French people 😉 then still we do have google translate. In extreme situation we can hire an interpreter of your language. Why not? Just let us know.
Altruss and prviously Alupro has 8 years of experience in export to most of european markets. Our towers/masts work in Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway. Most of our clients stay with us for next/future projects.
We do static calculations in accordance to Eurocode and its local extension (annexes). So you may get all the paperwork tailor cut to your market reality.
If product certification is needed: we work with our partner company Rolstal to provide any possible proof of quality including set of TUV, GSI-SLV, marine certificates. Most important we comply with ISO 3834 and ISO 1090 norms. Is your legislation still not happy? We can do bolted version of what you need, so no certification beyond „CE” declaration shall be needed.
We work 7:00 AM untill 20:PM CET – uder e-mail, Skype and phone, so It shall be not a problem to get answers from us.
Okay how about installation and transportation? Small quantities, single units are sent with courier services or through online dispatch markets (like Timo.com). Bigger loads get dedicated transportation from us (we take care of everything). If needed our company team can come and do the installation for you guys anywhere in Europe.
