Given the widespread adoption of synthetics in the heavy lift industry, many tradespeople are looking to either replace their old sling or buy a new sling outright. One of the most popular types of sling is the Polyester Webbing Sling. With the number of considerations necessary in choosing a new sling, it can be intimidating to buy a polyester webbing sling online, especially if you’re not yet established with an online supplier. This guide will help you find a supplier that will ensure you get the equipment you need for the job.
The first step in finding a quality seller is to effectively use online search tools. Most of us are familiar with search engines for casual use, but few people know that advanced search tools and alternative options exist which can make finding the slings you need much easier. One of the best tools for this is the ability to use Google’s “shopping” tab to locate suppliers and view their public profile.
Google allows users to review and fill out information on businesses, both online and offline, in order to help others locate good businesses and avoid shady ones. You can access this information by searching for the items you are interested in on Google’s shopping tab, then clicking on the merchant who has listed the item. This will bring you to the business’ profile which will contain contact information, photos (if available,) and, most importantly, reviews.
By carefully reading through reviews, you’re likely to find some that are particularly helpful. Longer reviews that focus on the reviewer’s personal experience are going to be of most value to you, as they’ll give you insight into each merchant’s general business. If, while reading reviews, you find major negative reviews, pay attention to what caused their experience to be negative. If you get the impression that the business isn’t running things smoothly, it’s likely to be best to buy your polyester webbing sling elsewhere.
Once you’ve found a few stores with good review scores, head over to their websites. By browsing their site with a few key characteristics in mind, you’ll be able to get a better picture of how each merchant runs their online store.
The first characteristic to look out for is the partnerships a merchant has with payment processors. This is the first on-site sign that a company is running a tight ship. Major payment processors vet those they partner with, at least to some degree, so this can be a good sign of a trustworthy merchant.
Of course, the next step is to check their inventory. Quality suppliers will carry quality brands. If, in browsing their inventory, you only see unknown brand names or value alternatives, they might not be the seller for you. While some alternative brands are fantastic, when it comes to heavy lift equipment, it’s important to stick with companies that have a proven track record of excellence.
The final step in vetting any online merchant is to contact their customer service. Calling or live-chatting tends to be most effective for this step, as it allows you to directly interact with the merchant’s employees. Communicating with merchants directly allows for you to get a feel for their company, their manner of business, and their internal culture, all of which are important for establishing a long-term supplier relationship.
