Foreword
Hi there, my name is Daniel, the CEO of IRONLAND, IRONLAND is a tool bag manufacturer and a solutions provider for the tool bag business. Over the years, we have got in touch with many tool bag B2B clients and provided quotations to them. We believe that the approval of the quotation by the buyer and the seller is the key to starting the cooperation. We have noticed that some clients do not understand well the quotation because they may be new to the tool bag industry or know less about international trade. So I wrote this article to help readers who need it to understand the tool bag quotation and share some tips to lower the unit price.
The tool bag quotation and unit price mentioned in this article are applicable to tool bags business, tool bags international trade, tool bags B2B, wholesale tool bags, procurement tool bags and customize tool bags.

The seller match the product specification and unit price, so that the buyer know the unit price of the product of a certain specification that they want to purchase. In the field of tool bag B2B business, we called tool bag quotation.

The order quantity required by the buyer or the MOQ provided by the seller (please check ‘The MOQ Of Tool Bag Bulk Sourcing‘ for more information about MOQ), usually the quantity of the product is up to the buyer. For example, if buyer wants to purchase 3,000 pcs of Z-type tool bags, it requires the seller to provide quotation based on 3,000 pcs Z-type tool bags. Or, if buyer wants to purchase a small qty of Z-type tool bags, it requires the seller to provide the quotation of Z-type tool bag based on MOQ.

In the early stage of purchasing, buyers usually ask sellers to provide quotations based on basic product specifications and MOQ to evaluate whether the products meet their needs and whether the quotation is reasonable, and based on this, consider whether to proceed the project with the seller. We name this kind of quotation basic quotation.
