BUYER'S QUESTIONNAIRE


ATTN Brokers/Buyers:
HERE ARE 20 PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS WE REQUIRE THAT OUR BUYERS ANSWER FOR OUR IMMEDIATE REVIEW and CONSIDERATION:



1. Does the alleged buyer really need the product in question?
2. Is the quantity sufficient to put out the effort to find what the buyer wants?
3. Does the buyer have a maximum shipment quantity (for each delivery) in mind?
4. Has the buyer shopped around for suppliers?
5. Does he know market prices?
6. Does the buyer have quotes from any other competitors?
7. Has the buyer offered any price?
8. If the buyer has a price, where did it come from?
9. Is the price realistic?
10. What is the best price of a real, alternative supplier?
11. Has the buyer bought this product, before?
12. Does he have a business license in the country he wants to do business?
13. If you ask the buyer the amount of the total purchase, will he stumble or does he know what he's spending?
14. Can the buyer pay for it?
15. When does he plan to pay, at sight of goods, as they leave the port, after SGS inspection, bill of lading?
16. What is his payment instrument?
17. Are Buyer's other terms acceptable? (Pls also find out if he/she has a preferred procedure in place)
18. Which port does buyer want the goods delivered to?
19. What is the discharge rate of that port?
20. Is there a match between port discharge rate and buyer's quantity request?

NOTE: PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE FIRST!
Any buyer that CANNOT comfortably answer the questions above should not bother to contact us. We will not tolerate time-wasters and unserious inquiries.

We value our clients' time, and that includes you, so we will appreciate if you value ours as well. Thank you!
