After
years of experience in the solid surface industry,
the owners of EMS became overwhelmed with the
amount of leftover stock taking up needed space
and, at the same time, the constant searching
for pieces of material that were the perfect size
for a job. Needless to say, the cutting charges
were becoming a frustration.
EMS is personally interested in the success of
its members, as well as the success of this service.
There is no doubt that the small fees being charged
for this membership are a drop in the bucket compared
to the potential savings that can result from
just a few transactions. We encourage you to write
us with your stories and testimonies of success.
We anticipate a lot of happy letters!
While EMS is based in the beautiful state of Florida,
it expects members from all 50 states. The solid
surface industry is booming – especially
in this day of home remodeling as an alternative
to selling. Any idea that can save significant
amounts of money is a welcome thing for our industry
– or for any business. EMS is that idea!
Our goal? To be of great assistance to your business
and to get rid of our stockpile!! We are excited
about the potential savings that everyone will
experience!

Frequently
Asked Questions
• What is the monthly
processing fee for?
There are many costs associated with running a
website, administering accounts, and providing
quality customer service.
The EMS fees are small, of course, compared to
the amount of money that will be saved with just
one use!
• What happens if
the item I sent for arrives damaged?
First of all, be extra careful to examine the
material when it arrives. UPS is responsible for
damage done during shipment and it will be important
for you to inspect and, if necessary, refuse the
shipment due to damage.
However, if the item is damaged, or simply not
what you had ordered, please let us know by phone
or email. The member that sent the item to you
will be responsible for making things right. Our
office will assist you in this process. EMS is
committed to making the entire process run as
smoothly as possible. This will include enforcing
strict membership rules regarding shipment and
the quality of materials.
• How does this work?
Emergency Material Services is in business to
provide an easy way for you to save money. The
materials that you have left over after each job
were once worthless to you unless you found a
need for them on another job. Why not sell them
to someone who really needs them?
By entering your inventory into our website, you
join hundreds of solid surface fabricators - all
looking for the odd sizes and colors that you
may have available. When they see your item and
purchase it - all for the same price per square
foot - you simply pack the item, sit back and
wait for UPS to pick it up, and then simply wait
for a check. There is no need to bid, negotiate,
or travel.
If you are the buyer, the process could not be
simpler. Find the item, purchase it, and wait
for it to arrive. Presto! You have saved a lot
of money, and you have the perfect size for your
next installation. No need to fool around with
auctions, classifieds, or a large storage bill!
• What if I cannot
find what I am looking for?
The beauty of EMS is that it is a dynamic site
- always adding inventory. Put the item you are
looking for in your "Wish List" and
watch what happens! Remember - EMS is being constantly
monitored by an entire country of solid surface
fabricators.
• Who sets the material
piece price?
EMS sets the price on all materials based upon
the latest in wholesale pricing. Holding to a
level pricing policy such as this insures that
everyone is treated fairly.
• In setting the $29.95
per month charge, how many square feet did you
project a plan participant would have to sell
to break even?
A participant would only have to sell 26 square
feet of material annually to break even! Judging
by responses from our members, that is only a
small fraction of what you have available to sell.
• What shipping container
would you recommend to minimize breakage?
UPS will accept a simple cardboard and stretch-wrap
package. We have confirmed that this is a safe
and efficient way to ship solid surface materials.
• What is the maximum
sheet size that can be shipped?
Currently, the maximum size is 50" x 30".
However, please keep in mind that sizes larger
than this are available through the distributor
and the availability of smaller sizes are the
purpose of EMS.
• How will I know that the material is available and ready to ship?
You will receive a fax confirmation with ship date. |
