Quick answer
Compare pool table quotations only after every supplier answers the same specification and scope. Normalize the playing platform, standard accessories, customization, packing, installation support and spare parts; then compare total project risk and landed scope, not one headline unit price.
Build one comparison specification
Use the same table size, playing discipline, slate configuration, frame structure, cushion profile, pocket geometry, cloth grade, leveling system, finish and logo requirements for every supplier. Mark every missing value as unconfirmed rather than assuming it is included.
Separate standard scope and options
Ask each factory to list what the table price includes, what is optional and what is excluded. Compare balls, cues, racks, lighting, coin or ball-return equipment, installation materials, spare parts and manuals as separate lines so bundled and unbundled quotes remain comparable.
Compare packing and destination work
Review package count, packed dimensions, gross weight, slate and finish protection, loading method, unloading requirements and installation responsibility. A lower ex-factory price can become a higher project cost if damage prevention or destination labor is omitted.
Use an exception list before awarding
Create a final page showing every difference, open question and commercial assumption. Require written confirmation of MOQ, sample route, approval milestones, production window, payment terms, warranty handling and replacement-part process before selecting the supplier.
What to include in your RFQ
For a comparable quotation, send the target billiard discipline or table model, destination country, expected order quantity, intended venue, required customization and preferred delivery window. Ask the supplier to separate the standard scope, optional items, spare parts, export packing and installation support.
