Quotation Turnaround Time

In normal circumstances, Copper Run will provide Price Quotations in accordance with the target turnaround time targets and standards listed below.

In many circumstances, simple Price Quotations will be issued much more quickly, particularly if the quotation request offers complete information regarding the shipment weights and dimensions, the loading and unloading circumstances, and the type and level of service requested.

Quotation requests may be e-mailed in, faxed in or phoned in, either directly to Copper Run’s Pricing Department, or though your Account Representative. For fastest turnaround, e-mail your request directly to pricing@copperrun.com. This e-mail address is continuously monitored by multiple staff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
