Frequently asked questions

It's free while we launch. If we start charging later, the price will be advised at the time of your request, before you send it.

We aim for three: best price, best value and fastest. Sometimes only one or two suitable suppliers exist or reply, so you get up to 3 options.

• 1 or 2 quotes: any fee still applies, because the research and checking work is the same. We tell you this before you submit.
• No quotes at all: there's no charge, or you get a full refund.

We compare suppliers on the price of the goods, quality and lead time. Many buyers use their own shipping agent. If a supplier can ship to the Maldives by air or sea, we show their shipping cost separately, for your information only. It is not part of our comparison.

Registered businesses. We confirm your company email with a 6-digit code and run a quick check on your company before we contact suppliers.

Anywhere, or only the countries and regions you pick. You can also tell us which countries or which current supplier to leave out.
