Buyer guidance for preparing a container enquiry. Availability and commercial terms are confirmed separately for each offer.
A product listing is not an offer
A catalogue helps you identify a product category. It does not confirm stock, price, quantity, payment terms or shipment timing. For a coffee enquiry, for example, the team needs your specification and destination before it can check for a matching verified offer.
Prepare a clear sourcing brief
Share your required specification, container quantity, preferred origin, destination and timing. Separate essential requirements from preferences you can discuss. If you can consider an alternative product or packing, state the limits of that flexibility.
Review verified options when available
A sourcing request initiates a search; it is not a supply commitment. Any resulting option must be checked against the requirement and issued as a commercial offer with its own terms and validity. Unconfirmed details remain pending until the team verifies them.
