How it actually works.
A managed procurement platform for critical industrial parts. You post what you need; GFP sources it from vetted sellers, manages collection and delivery, holds the payment, and pays the seller once it lands. One platform runs the whole job — and keeps both sides anonymous. Tap any step to open the spec.

§ FAQ / 01–08
Before you ask.
Posting a request is free — no signup, no subscription. Each quote shows one all-inclusive part price; delivery and VAT are itemised at checkout. GoFindPart is the supplier on your invoice, so there's one returns address and one support line — no separate platform fee on top, no listing fees, no per-seat pricing, no contracts.
£0 to sign up. £0 monthly. Sellers receive 100% of their quoted price — the default 13% GFP margin sits inside the buyer-facing price and is never deducted from your payout. Top-performing sellers earn a tier bonus of up to +1% on the quoted price, paid out with the order.
We target a first quote within 10 minutes of posting, with competing quotes building over the first hour. Same-day and 4-hr fulfilment options are available for standard stock items.
Raise a dispute from the order view within 48 hours of delivery. Our ops team reviews within 48 hours. Stripe's full refund and dispute cover applies — if the part is wrong, missing, or damaged, you're protected. Sellers who dispute above threshold are removed from the network.
The buyer does, at checkout. Pickup is free — you get a collection window and address. GFP delivery adds a flat logistics fee at checkout — you get a single arrival window. Either way, the seller only sees that the part needs to be ready by a specific time. Buyer and seller never interact directly.
Payout starts the moment the part is collected (or picked up by the buyer). Standard: T+2 working days to your bank via Stripe Connect. Express payout (next-day) available on request. Monthly VAT-ready statements downloadable from your dashboard.
We do. Every seller goes through company number check, VAT validation, insurance certificate review, and two trade references before going live. Most approvals take 48 hours. Ongoing fulfilment quality is monitored — sellers below a threshold are paused automatically.
No. They never exchange names, addresses, or contact details. Buyers see quotes by price, ready-time, and rating. Sellers see the part, quantity, delivery postcode, and when it needs to be ready — nothing about who’s buying. GFP sits in the middle for collection, delivery, and payment.
