A useful request for quotation gives each supplier the same product and order assumptions. Start with the specific rug, cushion, throw or seasonal item you need, then use the checklist below. A catalogue price alone does not describe every condition of a wholesale order.
Identify the exact product
Include a product link, SKU or reference photograph. Name the material explicitly: for example, faux fur or genuine sheepskin. State the size and how it should be measured. If you need a chair seat pad, say so instead of using “cushion” alone.
Provide a comparable order brief
| Field | Information to send |
|---|---|
| Quantity | Total units and the split by color, size or design. |
| Specification | Material, dimensions, backing or fill, and any requested changes. |
| Packaging | Unit pack, branding, barcode and carton requirements. |
| Destination | Country and delivery location needed for the requested shipping quote. |
| Schedule | Required arrival date and any sample approval deadline. |
| Commercial basis | Currency, requested trade term and named place, payment terms to discuss and required quote validity. |
Keep unconfirmed costs visible
Request separate confirmation of sample charges, packaging changes and freight where relevant. When comparing quotations, identify which amounts are included and which remain pending. Do not compare a product-only quote with a delivered quote as if they cover the same costs.
Review the response before ordering
Check that the reply identifies the same specification and quantity split. Ask about substitutions or assumptions rather than treating missing details as included. Save the final written quotation and approved sample reference together.
