The Challenge
A buyer in Bulgaria needed 50 pieces of molded tubing, part number 5062030282. The quantity made shipping weight the deciding number, not the unit price.
At the quoted unit weight the order came to 37.2 kg net. Carton dimensions and gross weight were not confirmed at quotation time, which is normal for a bulk molded-rubber line and matters for both freight class and customs.
What We Supplied
We quoted sourcing time and transit time as separate figures, so the buyer could see where the lead time actually sits instead of reading one blended number.
The quotation required original packaging with part-number labels. For bulk rubber components arriving in a market full of lookalike hose, the label is the identification.
Weight and HS code were given as quotation references — not as verified current-stock measurements and not as a customs classification ruling.
| Part Number | Part |
|---|---|
| 5062030282 | Molded tubing — not in the online catalog, quoted from the RFQ record |
The Outcome
The order was completed and delivered, and the customer authorized publication in this anonymized form.
What this RFQ teaches: for bulk orders, ask for net weight, carton dimensions and gross weight before you commit to a freight quote, and keep sourcing time and transit time on separate lines. They fail independently.
