What to name in a wholesale inquiry
Name the models, the exact device variants they must serve, the quantity for each model, and the market you sell into. A wholesale inquiry that names only a category, without models or variants, cannot be quoted accurately, because models differ in specification and price, and variants differ in compatibility.
Name the market you sell into, because certificates and labelling differ by market, and a battery that serves one market may not serve another without different documents. Name the delivery destination, because shipping and customs differ by destination.
What to confirm before payment
Ask for the specification for each exact model, the minimum order quantity for each model, the lead time for the order with its meaning, the warranty terms for each model, and the certificates that apply to your market, by name, with documents attached. Ask for the price for the exact models and quantities, and for the payment terms, before payment, not after.
Do not pay on the basis of a category description alone, and do not pay before the specification, the minimum order quantity, the lead time, the warranty terms, and the certificates have been confirmed for the exact models in the order.
Before payment, confirm the minimum order quantity, lead time and warranty terms for your order. Certificates are available upon request.
How a wholesale order proceeds
The inquiry is answered with a quotation for the exact models and quantities, including the specification, the minimum order quantity, the lead time, the warranty terms, and the certificates. The buyer confirms the quotation, and the order proceeds on the confirmed terms. Any change to the models, quantities, or market after confirmation should be re-confirmed, because it may change the specification, the lead time, or the certificates.
