Priority recommendation
For this fictional brief, compare A and B first: A has a lower listed price; B has a lower minimum quantity. Confirm identical material, dimensions and packaging before comparing a formal quote. Supplier C’s lower headline price comes with a higher MOQ and unclear packaging.
Cost & sample planning excerpt
Illustrative budget only: product $2.00 + packaging $0.20 + domestic transport $0.10 + freight $0.60 + assumed duties/fees $0.30 = $3.20 per unit. All figures are invented to demonstrate the breakdown, not a quote or a tariff estimate for an actual product.
Sample checks: confirm dimensions, material, finish, logo durability and retail packaging. Agree measurable acceptance criteria before placing a production order.
