| Comparison item | Demo supplier A · fictional | Demo supplier B · fictional | Demo supplier C · fictional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit against baseline | Quoted as matching; physical sample not reviewed | Not comparable: 300 gsm and 2,000-unit MOQ | Quoted as matching; physical sample not reviewed |
| Quoted quantity / MOQ | 1,000 units | 2,000 units | 1,000 units |
| Paperboard | 350 gsm white paperboard | 300 gsm white paperboard | 350 gsm white paperboard |
| Dimensions / printing / finish | States baseline dimensions, spot colour and matte varnish | States baseline dimensions and spot colour; varnish omitted | States baseline dimensions, spot colour and matte varnish |
| Quoted unit price | USD 0.78 / unit | USD 0.65 / unit | USD 0.82 / unit |
| Goods at quoted quantity | USD 780.00 | USD 1,300.00 | USD 820.00 |
| One-time printing setup | USD 45.00 | USD 0.00 | USD 30.00 |
| One sample charge | USD 35.00 | USD 25.00 | USD 40.00 |
| Inland transport assumption | USD 60.00 · unconfirmed | USD 40.00 · unconfirmed | USD 70.00 · unconfirmed |
| Scoped scenario subtotal | USD 920.00 | USD 1,365.00 | USD 960.00 |
| Sample / production lead time | 7 / 18–22 working days | 5 / 10–12 working days at 2,000 units | 5 / 12–15 working days |
| Simulated payment terms | 30% goods deposit; 70% before collection; setup and sample upfront | 50% goods deposit; 50% before collection; sample upfront | 30% goods deposit; 70% before collection; setup and sample upfront |
| Quote expiry in the scenario | Day 10 | Day 7 | Day 7 |
| Supplier-specific open question | Confirm board, tolerances, sample timing and inland quotation | Requote 1,000 units, 350 gsm and matte varnish; do not reuse this unit price | Confirm the shorter schedule and sample finish; obtain inland quotation |
Subtotal = goods at that supplier’s quoted quantity + one setup + one sample + the inland assumption. A: 780 + 45 + 35 + 60 = 920. B: 1,300 + 0 + 25 + 40 = 1,365 for 2,000 units, not 1,000. C: 820 + 30 + 40 + 70 = 960. Inland amounts are scenario assumptions, not confirmed quotations.
These are not landed costs. International freight, export handling, insurance, duties, taxes, destination charges, testing, inspections and Jinghai Yueheng service fees are excluded. Prices, taxes and responsibilities would need separate confirmation in a real project.
B quotes a different material, finish and order quantity. It cannot be ranked cheapest for the 1,000-unit brief, and multiplying USD 0.65 by 1,000 would invent a quote that does not exist. Ask for a corrected quotation first.
Their stated specifications and quantities align. A is USD 40 lower in this limited scenario; C states a shorter production lead time. Neither is automatically better: samples, timing, terms and actual transport costs remain unresolved.
Clarify colour and dimensional acceptance criteria, obtain the revised B quote and agree sample checks. The Day 35 target is not confirmed by supplier lead-time statements alone. Supplier selection and sample, payment and order approvals remain with the buyer.
A simulated handover list, not actual activity. D+2 and D+3 are illustrative follow-up targets, not promised turnaround times.

An approved requirement baseline, supplier identities and original quotes shared within the agreed scope, a comparison with its assumptions, and an open-question / action record. A real deliverable includes actual sources, dates and versions. The details, supplier count, review rounds and fees are agreed for each assignment; this sample is not a promise to supply three qualifying factories or to guarantee savings, quality or delivery.
