Pricing
Every price in Canadian dollars, line by line.
A CNC quote shows the metal, the machining, the freight and the tax on their own lines. A metal offer shows a price for each line, delivery to your site and the tax. Both in Canadian dollars, with the tax set by the province we deliver to.
Side by side
A CNC quote and a metal offer, side by side.
Both come from us, on one contract, and neither names a supplier. Every figure here is demo data from our own pricing code.

CNC quotes
What CNC parts cost at 1, 10 and 100.
Setup and programming spread over the order, so the price of a part falls as the quantity grows. The metal and the machining time per part fall much less.
How a CNC quote is built-

Demo figures, computed by our own pricing code from demo supplier prices and demo shop bids, at standard lead time. Your part gets its own quote.
Join buyer early accessLead times
Choose the lead time that suits the job.
Every CNC quote offers three lead times. Only the machining line moves with it: the metal, the freight and the tax stay as they are.
The machining line is the partner shop’s own price for its operations, plus our margin. A shop that holds machine time for you charges for it; a shop that fits your job into its quiet weeks can price it lower.
- The lead time shows on the quote, the order and the shop’s request
- Change it in the app before you accept the quote
What moves each line of a CNC quote.
Each line moves for its own reasons, worked out for your job.
-
Metal
The grade, the stock size, the cuts and the supplier, priced from a dated price list per supplier, region and grade.
- Dated price lists
- Cut to size, with the certificate
-
Machining
The partner shop’s own price for its operations, with the metal supplied. Setups, tolerances and quantity move it most.
- Machining only, metal supplied
- Tighter tolerances cost more
-
Freight
Every leg rated across carriers, supplier to shop to you. We book the cheapest rate that meets your date.
- Every leg on the quote
- Canada only: registered carriers
-
Tax
GST, HST, or GST and QST, set by the province we ship to, never the shop’s.
- By ship-to province
Metal offers
How a metal offer is built.
We source your exact request across our network, choose the best reply for each line and send one offer from us. You never see a supplier’s price or name.
How metal sourcing works-
A price for each line
Each exact line, with its cutting, priced from the reply we chose for it, plus our margin.
- Cutting included
-
Delivery to your site
Its own line, rated for your site: a dock, a liftgate or a residential delivery.
- From your receiving details
-
Tax by province
GST, HST, or GST and QST, set by the province we deliver to.
- By delivery province
-
A date, and a valid-until
The delivery date we commit to, and how long the price holds, since metal prices move.
- Priced again after it lapses
The offer in the app
The demo metal offer, as your account shows it.
Offer MO-26-0303, the metal offer above, as the buyer sees it in the app: each line with its country of melt, freight to Kanata, Ontario, HST for Ontario and the total, with the date it holds until.
- Accept it by card, pre-authorized debit or purchase order
- Ask our quote desk a question on the offer itself
- No supplier’s name or price anywhere on it
Tax by province
Sales tax by the province we deliver to.
Tax follows the province the parts or the metal go to, never the shop’s or the supplier’s. Rates as of 27 September 2026.
| Province or territory | Tax | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | HST | 13% |
| Nova Scotia | HST | 14%, since 1 April 2025 |
| New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island | HST | 15% |

| British Columbia | GST | 5%* |
| Manitoba | GST | 5%* |
| Saskatchewan | GST | 5%* |
| Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon | GST | 5% |
* Quotes and offers delivered to British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan collect GST only today; if provincial sales tax applies, it shows as its own line on the quote.

Questions
Questions about pricing.
Why is the metal its own line on a CNC quote?
Because we buy it. We buy the stock for each job from Canadian metal suppliers, cut to size, so the shop quotes the machining only. You see what the metal costs apart from the work.
Why does the price per part fall as the quantity rises?
Setup, programming and the first-article check are paid once per job, so they spread over more parts. The metal and the machining time per part fall much less. The guide How a CNC quote is built goes through each line.
Why does a metal offer have a valid-until date?
Metal prices move. The offer holds until the date on it; after that we price it again with the suppliers’ current prices.
Which province’s tax do I pay?
The province we deliver to, never the shop’s or the supplier’s. Parts machined in Nova Scotia and shipped to Ontario carry Ontario’s HST at 13%.
Can I pay in US dollars?
No. We quote, invoice and take payment in Canadian dollars only.
What if a tolerance is tighter than the automatic range?
A person at the quote desk checks it with the shop before the quote goes out, and the machining line carries the extra setups and inspection it needs.
Can I pay on terms?
Yes, by purchase order. Upload your PO when you accept, we invoice when the order ships, and approved accounts get net 30.
