# Price Match Policy | Direct Import Value

At **Paving Slabs Direct**, our pricing is built on a simple principle: direct import, disciplined specification control, and the total removal of intermediary margins. If you find the identical product listed for less by a reputable online retailer, we will review it fairly against our like-for-like standards.

To submit a request, please email **sales@pavingslabsdirect.co.uk** with a direct link to the competing listing.

## Direct Import Pricing: Same Specification, Best Value

Paving is a **specification-led product**. We can only perform a price match where the competitor’s listing is genuinely **like-for-like** in quality, origin, and technical standard. To ensure a fair comparison, please verify that the competing product meets every requirement below.

## Price Match Requirements

-   **Material Grade:** Must be the same stone type and premium grade.
-   **Production Batch:** Must be from the same manufacturing or batch year where applicable.
-   **Surface Finish:** Must match exactly (e.g., Flamed, Honed, Riven, or Textured).
-   **Physical Dimensions:** Must be the exact same size and thickness (calibration matters).
-   **Bottom Treatment:** Same backing or bottom treatment (e.g., sawn or calibrated).
-   **Visual Description:** Must be the same colour/tone description.
-   **Availability:** Must be in stock and available for immediate purchase.
-   **Comparable Pricing:** The total price must include VAT and comparable delivery charges.

## Verification Process

Our team will manually review each request based on the following professional benchmarks:

-   **Merchant Reputation:** The retailer must be a recognized UK merchant with clear trading terms.
-   **Public Pricing:** We do not match one-off quotes, trade-only rates, clearance stock, or auction listings.
-   **Service Level:** The delivery method must be comparable (e.g., specialist pallet network, kerbside delivery).

**Submission Checklist:** Please include our product link, the competitor’s link, your postcode, and the total quantity required. We reserve the right to decline requests where specifications cannot be verified.

## Our Position: Transparent Value

We do not rely on "flash sales" or artificially high "original" prices. Our mission is to provide **stable, everyday competitive pricing** through direct sourcing and volume importing. This approach ensures that every customer—whether trade or private—receives the same high standard without waiting for a seasonal promotion.

If a competitor’s price only becomes lower through restricted membership codes or temporary vouchers, it is not a true reflection of market value. We focus on **transparent supply discipline** and long-term price stability.

## Direct Import Value: Quality Without Compromise

By controlling the supply chain from the quarry to your site, Paving Slabs Direct delivers the fundamentals that matter: **accurate grading, consistent sizing, secure packaging, and dependable UK delivery.** We offer professional-grade paving at the most efficient price point possible.
