Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP

What is the ZIP system?
ZIP is a request for proposal/quote/information service offered by the publisher of Pallet Enterprise and TimberLine magazines. It helps connect buyers and sellers of forest products equipment, machinery and services. It replaces the Reader Service card system that was offered in the print edition of Pallet Enterprise. ZIP quickly and efficiently helps users research their next big purchase. Try it today - it's FREE.

Is the ZIP service really for free? What's the catch?
Yes, the ZIP service is free for anyone looking to query/research suppliers. This includes logging, sawmill, pallet and wood processing companies wanting to identify, research and contact industry suppliers.

Is it hard to create a RFP?
No, just answer the questions on a simple form. Don't have time to complete it in one sitting? Save it as a draft and finish it later.

Are my RFPs saved after being sent?
Yes. The ZIP system is designed to be as user friendly and efficient as possible. All of your RFPs are kept until you delete them. You can even update an old RFP and send it out again. You only need to enter your contact information once - when you register; after that just update it as needed to keep the information current.
