Suppliers answer the clearest requests first. A complete buy request takes three minutes and saves a week of back-and-forth.
1. Product and specification
Name the grade, size, variety or standard: "Navel oranges, size 56-72, GLOBALG.A.P." gets a price; "oranges" gets a question.
2. Quantity and rhythm
Give the total and the delivery rhythm, for example "3 reefers per week from December to March".
3. Shipping term and port
FOB Alexandria if you have your own forwarder, CIF or CFR to your port if you want a delivered price. Not sure? Ask our services team.
4. Packing and labels
Bag or carton size, private label, language on the label.
5. Certificates and deadline
List the certificates you need, and set a realistic deadline for quotes. Requests close automatically on that date.
