FAQ

Common questions and answers

  • What does it cost to submit an RFQ on Anvil?

    Anvil does not charge any upfront fees, therefore the client never pays us a dime. We only collect a small percentage from the final transaction before we pass the rest to the contractor.

  • How do I know that the contractor I choose is reliable?

    We've worked hard to ensure our clients can use Anvil without worry. All of our contractors are thoroughly vetted, and we only send bid invites to those that we're sure can handle the work load. Furthermore, we've taken extra steps to eliminate potential fraud.

  • Am I covered if I receive parts that do not meet my expectations?

    Anvil boasts a thorough 3 step part verification process. Every party, including us, must sign off on the contractor uploaded quality control documentation before the contractor is authorized to ship the order. If there so happens to be a defect in a part upon delivery, we'll correct it immediately.

  • My product contains many complex parts with multiple manufacturing processes. Am I still eligible for finding contractors on Anvil?

    We're currently working on functionality that will allow us to parse full complex assembly files. Until then, we ask our clients to upload just part files. If any of your parts require complex manufacturing processes, please contact us and we'll assist you in setting up your project.
