PRACTICAL BUYING NOTES

Compare the whole quote

Put product, cost and timing on the same basis.

A lower unit price can come with a different quantity, delivery scope or specification. Put both offers on the same basis before comparing the totals. You do not need an existing quote to request one from RZ Source.

Compare the same purchase.

A missing cost is not zero.

Mark it “to confirm” before comparing totals. Keep estimated charges visible rather than treating them as a final amount.

Then decide whether the order works.

Price is one part of the decision. Consider the quantity you must buy, when you need the goods and whether the proposed specification fits your use. A cheaper item with the wrong specification is a different purchase.

You buy from RZ Source. The product price includes our sourcing work and trading margin; the quote identifies delivery costs, estimates and anything charged separately.
