Wholesale Quotation Checklist: What to Include in a Supplier RFQ
A useful RFQ—request for quotation—states the product, quantity, requirements, destination and timing. Ask the supplier to identify what is included and what still needs confirmation.

A message that says “best price?” leaves the supplier guessing. A short, specific buying brief gives both sides a clearer starting point. Use the checklist below for a first inquiry, then add product-specific details as the conversation develops.
The six-part wholesale inquiry
Product
Name the product or range. Add reference images if they explain your requirement.
Quantity
State pieces and any variants. Ask for the applicable MOQ.
Specifications
Explain essential size, packaging or customization requirements.
Destination
Provide the country, city and postal code for shipping discussion.
Timing
State your target date and ask for separate preparation and transit estimates.
Contact
Include the email address to use for the quotation.
Turn a vague question into a useful brief
- 01
Too little context
“Please send your best bag price.” The range, quantity and delivery needs are still unknown.
- 02
A clearer example
“Please quote 100 pieces of YM-02 Signature Mix to my destination country and postal code. I understand the random styles and colors. Please confirm MOQ, packing, preparation and shipping.”
Illustrative inquiry only. It is not an offer, stock confirmation or suggested purchase quantity.

Buyer questions
Must I know the shipping method before asking?
No. Give the cargo and destination details and ask what sea or air options are available for your order.
Does completing the website form place an order?
No. The form prepares a WhatsApp inquiry for you to review and send. The quotation and order are confirmed through a direct conversation.
