Quick answers

The most common questions, answered directly.

What should I send first?

Send the product, quantity, target market, and any deadline or budget constraint. That is enough to start a useful sourcing conversation.

Why do quotes change so much?

Because the spec is often unclear. Material, finish, compliance, quantity, and timeline all change the real cost.

Why does compliance matter so early?

Because the wrong factory can be cheap and still unusable. If the market needs a certification, the supplier has to fit that from the start.

How do I avoid comparing bad quotes?

Use the same yardstick for each supplier. Ask the same questions on price, MOQ, payment, timeline, and quality control.

What to do next

Use this page to move from confusion to a usable brief.

Still unsure what to send?

Open the RFQ checklist and send the minimum facts first.

Need to compare options?

Use the factory comparison guide after you have a short list.

Need a quicker start?

Go directly to Contact and send the brief by email, WhatsApp, or RFQ.

Need to check fit first?

Use the service areas page to see whether the task belongs here before you send it.

Simple rule

If you can answer the same question for every supplier, the comparison gets clearer immediately.
