Before choosing a laser cutting vendor, verify: itemized pricing, in-house material stock, machine capacity, stated delivery timelines, minimum order policy, file format flexibility, GST-compliant invoicing, and order tracking. Missing any of these usually signals hidden cost or delay risk later.
The 8-Point Checklist
Why This Checklist Matters
Most fabrication disputes trace back to one of these eight points being unclear at the time of ordering. Verifying them upfront, before you commit a drawing, prevents the majority of delays and cost surprises.
See our full FAQ section for how each point is answered. For broader sourcing due diligence standards, the Bureau of Indian Standards and Confederation of Indian Industry are useful references.
