One is FOB, one is EXW, one says CIF and negotiable. One is for 1,000 units, one for 5,000. One includes the mould, one never mentions it. You cannot tell which is cheapest, so you take the lowest number and find out later what it left out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsking for quotes yourself is free, and that is exactly why they do not line up: a supplier who knows you cannot compare has no reason to make it easy. We approach the suppliers ourselves with one written spec, so every quote answers the same question. Then we rebuild all three on the same incoterm and the same quantity, put tooling, packaging, freight and payment terms in one table, and tell you what the real gap is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $1,500 — fixed price. \u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 working days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe verdict you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e Closes with a clear GEB verdict — which quote to take, what to push back on and what to walk away from — plus a confidence level and the cost line most likely to move after you order.
