Start with the collection
Define the product categories required and build a practical product list. Browse Furniture to review the current range.
Define quantities
Provide quantities by product/design and confirm current commercial terms with the manufacturer.
Choose the commercial grade positioning
A — Premium: higher-end positioning and stronger durability focus.
B — Commercial: balanced quality, durability and price.
C — Value: cost-efficient for volume or price-sensitive programs.
If the right choice is unclear, ask the manufacturer to recommend a suitable specification for the target market.
Plan the shipment
A useful wholesale RFQ includes:
- product list
- quantities
- destination
- grade preference
- packing requirements
- target shipment
The manufacturer can then respond with quotation and applicable loadability information.
Evaluate the supplier
Price is only one part of the decision. Also evaluate production, quality control, packing, inspection and export handling. Review our manufacturer approach and wholesale supply.
Use the RFQ as a working document
A buyer does not need to solve every manufacturing decision before contacting the factory. Send the requirements and ask the manufacturer to recommend what is appropriate.
