From First Enquiry To A Confirmed Order

A plain account of how we work, so you know what happens next at every point instead of waiting for an email.

Stage By Stage

The Six Stages

Each stage ends with something in writing. If a stage is going to take longer than expected, you hear it from us first.

  1. Enquiry

    Vague enquiries get vague answers.

    Send items, quantities, pack format and destination port. That is enough for us to quote properly.

  2. Written Quotation

    Verbal prices move.

    You get unit price, pack detail, incoterm and validity in one document you can compare.

  3. Samples

    Photographs hide pile density and coating feel.

    Physical samples go out with a written note of exactly what is and is not representative.

  4. Approval

    Approval by email is easy to dispute later.

    You sign the sample. That signed sample becomes the production reference held by both sides.

  5. Order Confirmation

    Assumptions made at order stage surface at goods-in.

    The confirmation restates specification, packaging, quantity, terms and dates before anything is made.

  6. Reorder

    Second orders drift from the first.

    Reorders run against the signed sample, so the shelf stays consistent.

What You Get

Why We Work This Way

  • No surprises at goods-in, because the standard was agreed and signed
  • A written record you can hand to a colleague without explaining it
  • Honest dates, including the ones you will not like
  • Clear separation between what we can promise and what we cannot
  • A repeatable path that works the same on the fifth order as the first

Every line gets a physical sample. Feel and stiffness do not travel in a photograph.

Answers

Sample To Order Process FAQ

What do you need in a first enquiry?

Items or references, approximate quantities, the pack format you want and the destination port. Anything less and the quotation is guesswork.

How long is a quotation valid?

The validity is stated on the quotation itself rather than assumed, because material costs move.

Do I have to approve samples before ordering?

For anything with a specification we strongly recommend it. It is the only way a later dispute can be settled quickly.

What payment terms do you work on?

Terms are agreed per customer and stated in the order confirmation. We do not publish a single policy that would not hold for every account.

What happens if a date slips?

You hear about it from us as soon as we know, with a revised date, rather than finding out when the vessel sails without your cargo.
