Salam. In Saudi trade, the best RFQ is the one that doesn’t create a conversation.
If your supplier has to guess, they will ask questions.
If you go back and forth, the quote gets slow. Khalas.
So here’s a very Saudi way to get quotes fast—especially for bathroom mirrors Saudi Arabia, LED mirrors Saudi Arabia, and project supply:
One screenshot + one paragraph.
That’s it.
This page shows you exactly how to do it.
Why this works (Saudi reality)
Most mirror sourcing fails at the same point:
buyer describes the product in words
supplier imagines something else
quote is wrong
sample doesn’t match expectation
everyone wastes time
A screenshot kills guessing.
And when you add a short paragraph with size/qty/terms, a supplier can quote in one shot.
Step 1: Pick ONE screenshot (don’t send 20 photos)
Choose one of these:
a product photo from a marketplace listing
a showroom photo
a drawing with dimensions
a BOQ line item (for fit-out)
✅ What makes a good screenshot?
shows the mirror shape clearly
shows the finish vibe (black / gold / frameless)
shows size or gives a reference point
Saudi tip: If you can send one clean screenshot, suppliers take you more seriously. Wallah.
Step 2: Add ONE paragraph (copy-paste and fill the blanks)
Send this as your RFQ message (WhatsApp or email):
This short block covers 90% of what suppliers need.
Step 3: If it’s a project, add ONLY the “docs line”
Projects die when documents are missing. So add one line:
Don’t write more. Keep it moving.
The “Saudi quote speed” secret: carton size + weight changes everything
Why do I always ask for carton size and weight?
Because it helps you:
plan warehouse space
plan delivery cost
avoid “surprise logistics” later
compare suppliers fairly
If a supplier can’t provide carton data, that’s a warning sign.
Why Teruier pushes this RFQ format: it protects the outcome
Here’s the truth: RFQ is not admin work. RFQ is risk control.
When RFQ is clean, the SKU becomes clean:
specs are clear
QC checkpoints are clear
packaging standards are clear
documents are ready
delivery planning is easier
That’s the whole Teruier cross-border design–manufacturing collaboration model in action:
intent → SKU → QC gates → packaging → delivery → documents.
And your differentiation makes this reliable, not just “a nice process”:
Teruier is rooted in a real Fuzhou craft-heritage hub—a craft village ecosystem where the work is supported by:
Artisans supply chain (finishing discipline, edges/corners, consistency)
Materials supply chain (stable sourcing, less batch drift)
Process supply chain (repeatable method, scale without losing detail)
That’s how you avoid the Saudi nightmare: “Batch 2 is slightly different.”
Examples (real Saudi-style messages)
Example A — Retail / e-commerce replenishment
Example B — Hotel / fit-out (phased)
Short. Clear. That’s Saudi business.
Quick FAQ (keep it practical)
Q: Do I need to mention QC checkpoints in RFQ?
A: For projects, yes. For retail, optional. But always ask for packing photo.
Q: If I’m not sure about anti-fog or lighting options?
A: Say “recommend your best-selling spec for Saudi.” But still define size/qty/finish/terms.
