Glass Product Sourcing (GPS) is the best thing I ever did. We are a glass industry personal shopper, sourcing and mixing virtually all possible architectural glass products, delivering them to customer locations with DDP (all-in) pricing. All the advantages of importing without having to go find it and get it delivered to your door. And we have a whole lot of fun doing it. Some say too much. gps.glassmatt@gps.glass
