Supply and trade · 12 October 2026
Understanding the subject
Two headline prices can conceal different products or delivery arrangements. Begin by aligning the specification, quantity, dates, unit and destination before judging the difference.
What it means in practice
An offer may include different packing, freight, inspection or payment conditions. Record those items separately so a lower figure is not mistaken for a lower total cost on the same basis.
Bring it into your next discussion
Use a comparison sheet that keeps technical acceptance and commercial terms visible. If a supplier proposes a deviation, evaluate it deliberately rather than treating it as part of an otherwise equivalent quote.
- Compare matching grades and units.
- List delivery and inspection responsibilities.
- Record validity and proposed payment terms.
