We used to send a price list. It created more confusion than it solved, because every buyer read the number against a different specification.
What actually changes the number
- Fabric construction and mill, not just the fibre name.
- Total quantity and the quantity per colourway.
- Size break and the resulting fabric consumption.
- Labels, trims, packaging and any compliance testing.
- Incoterm, destination port and the required ship window.
A published indicative band quietly assumes a mid-range fabric, a fixed quantity, one colourway and FOB Shanghai. Change any one of those and the band is wrong. Buyers then build a margin on a number that was never theirs.
What you get instead
Every RFQ returns a written spec, a cost breakdown by fabric / trim / labour / packing, a sampling plan and a ship-date estimate within one business day. Approved wholesale accounts can optionally enable indicative price bands in the site settings, but the quotation remains the only contractual number.
A quotation is a number with a specification attached. Anything else is marketing.
