The price fits your budget. But will the parts arrive before production starts? Can you buy the quantity you need?
Check these points before placing an order.
1. Confirm What “Lead Time” Means
Ask when the lead time starts: after order confirmation, payment, or another agreed step.
Then confirm whether it ends at shipment or arrival at your site. Check whether transport and customs time are included.
Ask:
“When can you ship, and when should we expect arrival?”
2. Check MOQ, MPQ and Order Multiples
MOQ means minimum order quantity.
MPQ usually means minimum packing quantity. Ask the supplier what it means in the quotation.
Also check the order multiple: the quantity steps you can order.
Example: You need 1,200 pieces. The MOQ is 1,000, and the pack quantity is 500.
Can you order 1,200, or must you order 1,500? Confirm before ordering. Do not assume these quantities follow the same rule.
3. Separate Samples from Production
For new product introduction (NPI), list sample, pilot-build, and production quantities separately.
Ask for the price, packaging, and lead time for each quantity.
If you need partial delivery, confirm the quantity and date of each shipment.
4. Keep the Agreed Conditions in Writing
Before ordering, confirm:
- Full part number and quantity
- Shipment and expected arrival dates
- MOQ, packaging, and order multiples
- Required documents
- Quote validity and conditions still awaiting confirmation
An initial check does not reserve stock or guarantee delivery.
