Prepare the delivery brief
State the product specification, quantity, destination postal code and target date. Ask the supplier to distinguish production lead time from shipping time and to identify what the delivery price includes.
Provide approved packaging artwork
Include your own French or bilingual artwork files and specify the version suppliers should quote. Arrange appropriate language and regulatory review before production. MapleBridge does not translate packaging, certify labels or provide Quebec compliance approval.
Request clear commercial terms
Ask for currency, MOQ, unit price, sample charges, packaging costs, production lead time and quote validity. Use the same specification for each supplier so that differences remain visible.
Invite your own suppliers
Create the RFQ and send private invitations to your selected contacts. Compare their submitted replies and follow up directly on missing details. MapleBridge does not operate a verified supplier directory or guarantee introductions.
Confirm logistics and final requirements
Agree receiving instructions and shipment arrangements with your supplier or freight provider. Verify applicable requirements independently. MapleBridge does not book freight, promise transit times or act as a customs broker.
