| Do subscribing
suppliers receive buyer contact information with each
RFQ? |
Yes,
Suppliers are provided with company name, contact name,
phone, fax, e-mail, drawings, specifications, and any
other requirements, for the RFQ. Suppliers are free to
have dialogue with buyers, unless the buyer specifically
requests otherwise. Most buyers want to deal directly
with the potential vendors.

in any way if I fill out the registration form? |

Neither Buyers or Suppliers are obligated to place RFQ's
or purchase subscriptions. We do not ask for any financial
information during registration.

does The Metal Spinning Network Charge for Subscriptions?

registration form.

know about your website? |
