About Us

This site is the exclusive property of USBid, Inc. The site has been created as a streamlined, no-frills, buyer-only website exclusively for our English speaking customers.

How does this site differ from our main site, USBid.com? Unlike our main USBid.com website which has many advanced and perhaps complicated features such as BOM upload, BUYLISTS, sales order fulfillment tracking; plus many SELLER oriented functions such as inventory upload, online inventory management, and vendor purchase order tracking; this site is for part searching and RFQ submission only.

As with all of USBid's web-based purchasing outlets, one common element you will experience in using buyer site is direct access to USBid's knowledgeable sales and customer service personnel, plus the assurance of working with an established, reputable, ISO-9000 registered company.

How do I request a quote?

Once you register and log in to our site, you can request a quote either for a single part or for many parts.
When you perform a search, you will see a link labeled "Add to RFQ" in the leftmost column of your search results. When you click this link, it will add the corresponding part number to your pending RFQs. You need only send one instance of your part number to the RFQ. Your sales representative will work to get you the best price and delivery based on the criteria sent.

Another way to send part information to your Pending RFQs area is to enter a part number and quantity into the "Request a Quote" box on the lower right column of any page on the website. This information will automatically add a line into your pending RFQ. At this point, the RFQ has NOT been sent to our sales team for sourcing. The parts have simply been entered into your "Pending RFQ" area. This allows you to add as many parts to the RFQ as you would like before sending the final RFQ to us. When you are ready to send the RFQ to your sales representative, click on the menu item on the upper left labeled "Pending RFQs". Here you will have the ability to add target price and purchase timing to your RFQ, as well as remove any unwanted parts. Once you fill in the required information, click the button labeled "Submit RFQ Now", and you are done.

Once submitted, your personal sales representative will receive your request and you will hear back from them shortly. In the meantime, the RFQ information is available to you in the "Submitted RFQs" area of the website.

Is all this inventory (12+ million line items) in stock??

We work with approximately 1,500 independent distributors and 3,000 OEM suppliers (OEM's looking to sell their excess inventory). Most of the inventory you see on the site is in the physical possession of our supplier community.

How long before delivery from the point I place order?

Suppliers ship directly to our fulfillment/QA center. In most cases, parts are received in the morning and shipped in the afternoon. Inventories from domestic suppliers are usually delivered in 3 days after we receive your order. International suppliers require 7-10 days.

How do I know the parts will be what I order??

Our Quality Assurance team carefully inspects the parts received for quality and accuracy per your order. Any discrepancies result in the products being returned to the supplier at no expense to you.

What is the warranty?

A 30 day warranty is provided for all parts purchased.

How do I pay for the parts?

Initial orders can be paid for by Credit Card, COD or Wire Transfer. Work with your sales representative, you may be eligible to receive payment terms.

Can I get payment terms?

We have a great number of customers ranging from ongoing repeat customers to one-time buyers. Terms can be extended to repeat customers following successful payment history with us.

How is this business profitable?

Our business model is simple - we buy at a price slightly lower than the price for which we sell.
