Identify the page before reading the offer

An image album may present styles. A catalog may group product entries. A marketplace listing may show variants and a displayed amount. A quote may be sent separately. Record which page supports each claim instead of letting one page stand in for the whole chain.

Treat supplier claims as claims

Words such as “direct,” “manufacturer” or “factory” require independent evidence. A polished album or broad selection does not establish ownership of production, stock or export capability.

Read MOQ and price tiers together

FieldQuestion
MOQIs the minimum per item, color, size, carton or total order?
Price tierWhich exact quantity and variant produces this amount?
CurrencyWhat currency and date apply to the quote?
SampleIs a sample possible, and are its price and shipping separate?
PackingWhat is included, and what are the packed dimensions and weight?

Use category-specific questions

Clothing and footwear

Fit and construction

Ask for measurement method, size tolerance, material composition, color options and packing by size.

Bags and accessories

Dimensions and hardware

Ask for empty weight, lining, closures, strap length, material and protective packing.

Electronics

Specification and compliance

Ask for exact model, voltage, plug, included parts, compatibility and the responsible party for applicable compliance documents.

Fragile items

Packing and breakage

Ask how units are separated, boxed and measured for shipping.

Keep product price and landed assumptions separate

Unit price, domestic delivery, export packing, international freight, insurance, duties and local charges answer different questions. This guide does not provide customs, tax, shipping or legal advice. Record who supplied each figure and what it includes.

Before requesting a quote

  • Save the exact product URL, code and selected variant.
  • Choose a quantity and ask whether it satisfies the stated MOQ.
  • List required colors, sizes or specifications.
  • Request the price basis, currency and validity date.
  • Ask what packing, labels and accessories are included.
  • Request useful photos or measurements tied to the same item.
  • Provide a destination only when you intend to request a shipping estimate from the responsible party.
  • Keep payment, protection and support questions separate from the catalog presentation.
