Need it Now? See Alternatives

October 13th, 2010 by Dale Foster, Jr.

I wanted to let everyone know that we have installed a new feature on the Dale Foster Sales website to help our customers find the right gauge in a hurry.  I’ve found in the past that sometimes customers are looking for a specific part that we don’t currently have in stock, but they still need that part in a hurry.  In most cases I’ve been able to walk customers through the available gauges that have similar features and will work to suit their needs.

We have now streamlined this process so that you can quickly do it from the comfort of your computer.  Now if you search for a part that is not currently in stock, the product listing will display a feature called, ‘Need it Now? See Alternatives.’  Following this link will lead you to a listing of gauges that can be used in place of the specific model that you were searching for.

The Alternatives that we list for you are matched based on three criteria: Psi rating, dial size, and connection type (both size and location).  So if you’re in a hurry to replace a badly needed pressure system component, and we don’t have that specific part in stock, you can now quickly and easily find suitable alternatives.  In the future, we may expand or refine this feature to better meet your needs.

If you have any questions about the new Alternatives feature of our website, or have any other pressure gauge questions, by all means call me at 800-326-6518.

American Express Cards Welcome

October 13th, 2010 by Dale Foster, Jr.

Over the past couple of years I had started noticing a lot of my customers trying to use American Express cards, but I fortunately we did not accept them.  Sometimes, I would receive calls from customers looking to use their cards online, but they could not figure out how to enter an American Express card number.

And sometimes, I would receive phones calls where the customer was in a hurry to order a badly needed system component, but only had a company-issued  American Express card available and could not proceed with the purchase. 

Some of you were so urgently in need of a specific part that you would use your personal credit card to make the purchase. 

I understand that limiting payment options can be an aggravating impediment to your work.  So in an effort to support my customers in every way I can, I’m pleased to announce that Dale Foster Sales now accepts American Express cards. 

If you had been delaying a purchase because of credit card limitations, or you have any questions about pressure system components, by all means call me at 800-326-6518.
