Check identity and product traceability.
Confirm the legal company name used on quotations and documents. Then verify that each product image, capacity, material and lock claim remains tied to the correct catalog program rather than being reused across unrelated variants.
Ask what the evidence actually proves.
A reliable discussion distinguishes outer from inner dimensions, capacity-specific photographs from shared family references, and confirmed locks from visual assumptions. Missing data should be marked for review instead of estimated.
- Request the measurement source for the selected configuration.
- Confirm sample appearance and lock operation against the quotation.
- Review packing contents and labeling before production.
- Ask which requested documents apply to the exact product and destination market.
Make the quotation comparable.
Use the same written brief with every supplier: program, capacity, lock or style, quantity, customization, packing, destination and required documents. This makes commercial responses easier to compare and exposes unanswered scope early.
