PIKPOP BUYING GUIDE

Wholesale quote checklist for retail buyers

A useful wholesale quote starts with exact products, quantities and a destination. Pikpop’s buying-list subtotal covers the listed goods; delivery and other destination costs need a separate quotation.

Give the supplier a specific buying brief

  • Products: exact SKUs, selected colors or sizes, quantities and acceptable alternatives.
  • Destination: country and delivery location, including any receiving constraints.
  • Timing: the required delivery date and whether partial shipments are acceptable.
  • Product requirements: pack contents, labeling language, packaging and any documents needed for your market.
  • Commercial details: the named seller, currency, requested delivery terms and what must be included in the quote.

Separate the goods subtotal from the delivered cost

Costs to clarify before accepting a quotation
CostPikpop catalog treatment
GoodsIndicative unit price × quantity at the applicable supplier tier, shown in USD.
Freight and insuranceExcluded from the catalog subtotal. Ask what the proposed shipping price includes.
Duties and destination taxesExcluded. The treatment depends on the product, destination and agreed transaction.
Other servicesConfirm any inspection, repacking, labeling, handling or local delivery charges in writing.

Do not add a guessed tax percentage to the catalog price and treat it as a confirmed landed cost. Ask for the relevant cost breakdown, delivery responsibilities and supporting documents.

Review the final terms

Before accepting a quotation, check the seller’s identity, stock allocation, product specification, currency, payment schedule, delivery terms, inspection, claims and returns. A supplier listing or an AI shortlist does not establish that a product is eligible for import or resale in your market.
