Are these prices genuine?
Yes. They come from connected merchant/Awin product feeds. Always confirm the final price, stock and delivery on the retailer page before ordering.
Does MaterialScanner guess when a description is unclear?
No. It flags missing details when size, grade, thickness or finish could materially change the match, and required questions must be answered before a basket is matched.
Can local suppliers beat the online basket?
That is the key feature, launching first in Birmingham. A complete basket gives participating suppliers the opportunity to return a better delivered quote.
