Updated 23 September 2026. Prepared by MapleBridge. Examples are illustrative, not supplier offers. This workbook is not the workspace quotation-import CSV.

Example: a lower unit price is not a complete comparison

Illustrative order: 2,000 pieces, specification BOX-R1
Quotation field	Example A	Example B
Applicable unit price	USD 1.10 / piece at 2,000 pieces (base price USD 1.25)	USD 1.05 / piece
Goods subtotal	USD 2,200.00	USD 2,100.00
Delivery term	FOB Shenzhen port	EXW Shenzhen factory
Freight, samples and tooling	Not quoted	Not quoted

The USD 100 goods-price difference is not a landed-cost saving. Ask suppliers to confirm the same specification, named place, Incoterms version, fee coverage and validity. No exchange rate or duty estimate is assumed.

Check two quotations

Use the same order quantity for both quotes. One optional quantity break per quote is supported. Convert carton or set prices to a common unit yourself before comparing. Entries stay on this page, are not saved, and are not sent to suppliers.

Use and reference these materials

You may download, adapt and share these original templates for purchasing or teaching. Attribution is appreciated, not required; no backlink is required. These materials do not verify suppliers or replace product-specific checks.
