How do buyers check a load they have not seen in person?
Short answer: Buyers typically rely on your photos and description, an estimated weight and the metals involved, and then confirm the quote on arrival by inspecting and weighing the load, so clear photos, an honest description and a stated weight give you a firm starting figure, and the final price is settled on the weighbridge docket for the actual load.
