Procurement playbook

What moves the price

Which tier the vendor defaults you into (ask for the build sheet behind the label)
Materials and specification of the item
Quantity and where it falls against a vendor's price breaks
Finishing, customization, or add-on services

Check before signing

Setup or one-time fees charged per unit or repeated on reorders
A specification quietly changed from what you asked for
Rush surcharges applied to a standard timeline
Line items bundled into a single total so individual prices can't be compared

Negotiation levers

Standardize the specification so vendors quote like-for-like
Consolidate volume or designs to share fixed costs
Offer schedule flexibility in exchange for a better rate

About shipping crates / ata cases pricing

Quoted in package tiers. Vendors position you into budget, standard, or premium builds of the same concept, and the build sheet matters more than the tier name.

Why do two quotes for the same item differ so much?

Usually a specification or finishing difference, not the core work. Ask both vendors to quote the identical spec and the gap normally narrows.
