📝 Five details and one single round

Prepare your enquiry

A quote is only as good as the brief behind it. These are the five details you need, with a generator that assembles the message for you.

Short answer

What do I need to send to get a quote for a purchase in China?

Quoting a purchase in China needs five details per product: the link or a photo, the quantity, the exact variant — colour, size, model or plug type —, the destination country and when you need it. With those five details the quote is issued without a second round of questions; without them, the time goes on clarifications. The detail most often left out is the variant: a product in five colours and three sizes is fifteen different references, and quoting it as a single line produces a figure that is not met later.

The five details, and why each one matters

The five details of an enquiry
Detail Why it changes the answer
Link or photo It decides whether we buy an exact reference or have to look for equivalents, which are two different jobs.
Quantity The unit price is stepped. A single figure usually means the factory picked the bracket for you.
Variant Colour, size and model are different references. A product in five colours and three sizes is fifteen lines, not one.
Destination country Mandatory certification, plug type and the viable transport route all depend on it.
Deadline It decides whether the shipment can go by sea or has to go by air, and that changes the cost more than almost anything else.

Hi, I'd like a quote to buy from China.

An example of what one detail changes. «I want phone cases» cannot be quoted: quantity, model, material and destination are missing. «I want 500 clear TPU cases for the iPhone 15, black and clear, destination Mexico, no rush» can. The second sentence produces a quote the same day; the first produces three questions.

Frequently asked questions about the enquiry

What information do I need to send to get a quote?

Five details per product: the link or a photo, the quantity, the exact variant (colour, size, model, plug type), the destination country and when you need it. With those five a quote can be issued without a second round of questions. The detail most often missing is the variant: a product in five colours and three sizes is fifteen references, and quoting it as a single line produces a figure that is not met later.

Can I ask for a quote without having the link?

Yes. A photo or a clear description is usually enough to find equivalent references, and that work is included in the commission when the order closes with us. If you do have the link, better: it removes any ambiguity about the exact reference.

How long does a quote take?

With a complete list, usually the same day or the next. With an ambiguous brief, as long as the second round of questions takes, which is usually more than the work itself. That is the reason for this page: it is not bureaucracy, it is the difference between a one-day quote and a three-day quote.

What if I do not know the quantity yet?

Give us a range. The unit price is a stepped function of quantity, so a factory quoting a single number has picked a bracket for you. Always asking for three quantities — a conservative one, a realistic one and an ambitious one — gives a far more useful picture than a single price.

Can I hire only the inspection, or only the factory verification?

Yes, and they are quoted per order. Factory verification, the prep center and product development involve travel or preparation work, so each case is priced before we start. There is no requirement to ask for them. What is included at no cost on any order is the pre-shipment checking and sampling.

Is anything sent to a server when I use this page?

No. The site has no backend and makes no requests to external domains. What you type stays in your browser: the page only assembles the text and opens WhatsApp with it. You can check this by disconnecting from the network after the page loads: it will still work.

Rather write it yourself?

That is no problem at all. Send us whatever you have on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is missing, if anything is.
