How to compare supplier quotes
Updated April 12, 20263 min read
Quick answer
Compare the details provided in each quote, including product specifications, quantity, price, delivery timing, shipping terms, and payment conditions. Confirm any missing or unclear information with the supplier before proceeding.
Which terms should I review?
Check that each offer covers the same product specification and quantity. Review shipping terms, delivery timing, taxes or duties where applicable, quote validity, and payment conditions.
Can the marketplace choose an offer for me?
The buyer is responsible for reviewing offers and following the marketplace's order process. Available comparison tools depend on the operator's configuration.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I choose only by unit price?
- Consider the complete commercial and delivery terms, not just the unit price. Ask the supplier or a qualified trade adviser about terms you do not understand.
