Can a supplier replace my selected Quartzite slab before I pay the deposit?<\/h3>\n<p>That depends on the actual reservation and commercial arrangement. If the original slabs were not secured, inventory may change. The important procurement step is to identify the new physical boards and review the revised offer instead of assuming that the original selection remains available.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Is the same Quartzite name enough to accept a replacement slab?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Natural Quartzite varies between slabs. Compare the replacement board numbers, complete slab photographs, dimensions, overall tone, movement, mineral features and project fit before transferring approval.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Should I ask for a new quotation when the slabs change?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes when the substitution changes any commercial input or when the existing quotation identifies physical slabs that are no longer being supplied. The revised offer should make clear which boards, quantities, prices, reservation conditions and payment requirements currently apply.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Do replacement slabs need a new cutting layout?<\/h3>\n<p>Request one when the substitution affects usable dimensions, vein direction, seams, waterfall relationships, openings or finished-piece placement. For simple independent pieces, full-slab review and dimensional confirmation may be sufficient.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Does paying the deposit mean the replacement slabs are automatically mine?<\/h3>\n<p>Do not assume a universal legal result. Confirm what the quotation, invoice, purchase order, reservation terms or other applicable project documents say about reservation, payment, ownership, storage and later substitution.<\/p>\n<h3>6. What if only one slab in a three-slab set is replaced?<\/h3>\n<p>Review the substitute against the two slabs that remain in the offer. A board that looks acceptable by itself may still introduce a strong visual break or create a different cutting-layout problem when combined with the retained slabs.<\/p>\n<h3>7. What should I ask HRST STONE for before accepting a revised slab offer?<\/h3>\n<p>Ask for the revised quotation, exact current board numbers, complete slab photographs, board dimensions, quantity, finish and thickness, current availability or reservation status, any changes in price or payment conditions, and a revised cutting or allocation layout when the substitution affects project fit or visual placement.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f8f5ef; border-left: 4px solid #D4A76A; padding: 16px 18px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p><strong>Pre-Deposit Decision<\/strong>A Quartzite substitution before deposit should not be treated as a small photograph update if the physical boards or commercial basis have changed.<\/p>\n<p>Compare the revised slab set, confirm that it still produces the required project components, identify any new seams or visual compromises, and check the current reservation and payment terms.
