A useful magnetic tile wholesale quote should identify the exact product and packaging, quantity and MOQ basis, price currency, trade term and named place, preparation timing, carton data, payment assumptions, document scope, customization, validity and exclusions. Without those fields, two unit prices may describe different products and responsibilities.
1. Exact product identity
The quotation should show a model or SKU, product form, piece count and shape mix, included accessories, materials or construction reference, intended age grade and a photo or specification reference. “Magnetic blocks” alone is too broad because buyers use that phrase for flat tiles, cubes and other systems.
2. Retail package and carton configuration
- Standard or custom retail package
- Units in each retail pack
- Retail-pack dimensions and weight where available
- Sets per inner and master carton
- Master-carton dimensions, gross weight and net weight
- Mixed-carton assumptions, if offered
Mark unconfirmed fields as pending rather than filling them with a similar SKU’s data.
3. Quantity and price basis
State the number of sellable sets, the number of cartons and the MOQ for that exact configuration. The quote should identify the currency and whether price tiers change the product or package. MagBlockPro’s regular wholesale MOQ can start from one carton; custom packaging and other development work may have separate minimums.
4. Trade term, named place and freight scope
A term without a named place is incomplete. Clarify whether freight, export handling, insurance, duties or destination charges are included. If the quote covers the product only, say so. Buyers can then obtain freight inputs without treating a factory price as landed cost.
5. Timing and validity
Separate order preparation from international transport. Regular confirmed orders normally require 3–7 days of preparation; shipping time is additional. Custom projects use a separately confirmed schedule. Include quotation validity and identify what starts the clock, such as payment, artwork approval or final order confirmation.
6. Compliance and document scope
A quote should not use a vague certificate icon as a promise. Identify which documents are available for the proposed model and destination, what still needs confirmation, and who will review or issue transaction-specific documents. Link the response to the exact SKU rather than a general catalogue claim.
7. Customization and approval steps
List custom boxes, manuals, labels or storage bags separately. Show their cost assumptions, minimums, required files, approval stages and timing. State whether the quote includes artwork services, samples, printing plates or other setup items instead of leaving those charges to appear later.
8. Commercial assumptions and exclusions
Record payment milestones, sample charges, inspection responsibility, validity, tolerance rules and any excluded service. A short exclusion list is more useful than a low headline price followed by surprises.
A final comparison test
Before comparing suppliers, hide the company names and check whether each line describes the same product, package, quantity and responsibility. If not, send a clarification table. Do not average or rank incomplete quotes as if they were equivalent.
Frequently asked questions
Is a unit price enough for a magnetic tile quotation?
No. The quote should identify the exact product, included packaging, quantity basis, trade terms, preparation timing, packing data and important exclusions.
Should shipping appear in every wholesale quote?
The quote should state whether freight is included or excluded and identify the trade term and named place. A product-only quote can be valid if that limitation is explicit.
How should custom packaging be quoted?
Separate product and customization costs, minimums, approval steps and timing. Do not assume the regular one-carton MOQ or preparation time applies.
Provide the model or reference shape, destination, quantity, package and document needs so every quotation answers the same buying question.
