RFQ
Before submitting, make the requirement decision-ready.
Specific thresholds and a realistic delivery window create a stronger brief than broad quality adjectives or an urgent message.
- Use an exact commodity name
- State thresholds, not only a general quality level
- Include quantity, unit and tolerance
- Describe acceptable packaging
- Give a city, province or named destination—not a sensitive address
- State a delivery window rather than an undefined urgency
- Name material standards or documents
- Separate mandatory points from preferences
FAQ
Buyer questions
Do you publish prices?
No. Pricing depends on the exact specification, quantity, packaging, destination, delivery basis, timing and commercial conditions.
Does submitting an RFQ confirm stock?
No. Submission records the requirement for review. Any proposed availability must be stated in current transaction documents and supported where material.
Can I request a specific origin or package?
Yes. Mark it as mandatory or preferred. Feasibility remains subject to written review.
Can I request private-label packaging?
You may include it as a requirement. The request itself does not confirm that such packaging can be supplied.
