Match the product specification
Put model, dimensions, quantity, material, finish, hardware and any customization in matching rows. For upholstery, identify the fabric or leather specification. For cabinetry, include the approved drawing version and hardware list.
Separate goods from services
Show product price, sample or design charges, inspection scope, packing, domestic collection, freight and destination services separately. Ask which amounts are fixed and which depend on the final packing list or destination arrangements.
Read the transaction terms
Check who issues the quotation, who sells the product, who receives each payment and when balances are due. Keep delivery timing, changes, defects and warranty arrangements alongside the price rather than in a separate conversation.
Keep a comparison record
Use one row per product and retain the date, currency and source quotation. Do not treat a supplier quote as a factory cost figure. Where two options differ, write the difference instead of forcing them into a false like-for-like comparison.
Match the specifications
Compare item ID, quantity, dimensions, material/construction, finish/fabric, hardware, currency, unit price and validity date.
Separate cost lines
List goods, samples, special processing, packing, domestic transport, international freight and destination charges. Do not double-count included costs or treat unquoted costs as zero.
Check commercial terms
Identify the contracting party and payee, deposit terms, balance approval, order changes and issue handling. A goods-only price is not directly comparable with a service-inclusive total.
Keep original quotations
Retain supplier quotations and Kirin’s order approvals as distinct records. Identify the final version so old quotations, drawings and messages are not treated as current specifications.
