The real question is not “Who gave the cheaper price?”
The real question is: What disappeared from the quote when the price went down?
A cheap China quote is not always a saving.
In a real case I checked, an Israeli importer received a very low price through a trader working with China.
When I checked directly with the factory, the price was higher.
But the reason mattered:
The low price did not include the most important requirement —
how much weight the product actually needed to carry.
The factory told me directly:
At that price, the product could not really meet the customer’s load-bearing requirement.
This could have become a first trial order of around USD 30,000 with a product that was not suitable for real use.
Before asking only, “Can it be cheaper?”
Ask:
What disappeared from this price?
Material?
Structure?
Load?
Responsibility?
A cheap price without responsibility can become the most expensive mistake.
This is Ping,I help importers check supplier risk before they transfer money to China.
