Can a factory quote an OEM trial order of 5–10 pool tables?
Yes, when the selected table platform, customization and shipment plan are feasible. A useful factory answer should confirm the applicable MOQ for the exact configuration, identify any setup cost and separate the trial quantity from an expected repeat order. Do not rely on a universal low-MOQ promise.
What information should the buyer send first?
State the playing discipline, preferred size or reference model, venue, destination country or port, trial quantity, expected repeat volume and target timing. List logo placement, frame finish, cloth color, packaging and any electrical or coin-operated requirements. Photos alone are not a complete specification.
How should one specification control the whole batch?
Use one approved technical schedule for all tables in the trial batch. Record dimensions, bed and frame construction, cushions, pockets, cloth, leveling, included accessories, finish and logo references. Mark every difference and unconfirmed point before production so each unit is built against the same approval.
Which costs should be separated in the quotation?
Separate the table, customization, playing accessories, spare parts, export packing, inland delivery, freight and destination work. Ask for package count, packed dimensions and gross weight. A low unit price is not comparable when another quotation includes better packing, spares or installation materials.
How should a buyer approve the first batch?
Agree on drawings or a reference sample, color and logo approvals, production checkpoints, final photos or video and a packing record. For model-specific performance, define measurable checks for level, ball roll, rebound, pockets and any ball-return or lighting system before shipment.
What should the written order confirmation include?
Request the final specification, included and excluded items, applicable MOQ, production window, payment terms, packing data, spare-parts list, installation support, warranty handling and quotation validity. Confirm all order terms for the selected model and destination instead of copying figures from another project.
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.
