How to read a crab seed quotation

Compare on the same basis

Two prices may refer to different sizes, units or delivery points. Before deciding which offer fits your needs, compare the product description, seed size, quantity and unit. Ask about unclear details rather than filling the gaps yourself.

Check the quotation date and validity period. If the quantity or receiving date changes, ask whether the quoted terms still apply.

Read these details together

• Product and specification: do they match the request?
• Quantity, unit and method of confirming the amount delivered.
• Unit price, payment currency and calculation of the total.
• Costs included, costs excluded and who is responsible for each.
• Delivery location, expected timing and receiving arrangements.
• Agreed payment terms, issue-reporting arrangements and responsibilities.

An omission is not an agreement

If a cost or responsibility is absent, do not assume the other party has accepted it. List the open questions and ask for written clarification. Documents, checks or procedures need to be confirmed for the specific transaction.

For example, identical product prices with different delivery points can result in different overall costs and preparation for the buyer. Comparing only the unit price can miss an important condition.

Keep the final confirmation

Retain the latest quotation, agreed details, contact person and confirmation date. Check unresolved points before arranging payment or receipt. The YOLO website form submits a quotation enquiry; prices and transaction terms are discussed and confirmed separately.
