How we quote

How Sourcing Agent Fees & Project Costs Are Quoted

Sourcing agent fees depend on the purchasing work and order value. Design, sampling and production support have their own scope. We explain the calculation basis, included services and external costs before paid work begins.

Pay for the support your project needs

An existing-product purchase, a design commission and a custom production order involve different work. We build the quote around your brief and identify included tasks so the same work is not charged twice.

Send a reference, estimated quantity and destination to start. A target budget helps us compare practical options; it is not a commitment to place an order.

Sourcing & procurement

A service fee based on the order value and the work involved: supplier searches, number of products, purchasing difficulty and coordination. The quote states the calculation basis, any minimum service fee and the tasks included.

Design & development

A project fee for agreed design deliverables, such as artwork, appearance design, sewing patterns and a tech pack. We define concepts, revision rounds, file formats and usage rights before work begins. Design-only projects are welcome.

Samples & revisions

Sample making, materials, specialist processes and sample delivery are quoted for the requested scope. Changes after approval or additional sample rounds are agreed separately. Any credit toward a later order must be stated in the quote.

Production management & quality checks

The quote explains which purchasing, supplier coordination, payment handling and in-house checks are included. Additional visits, re-inspections, independent inspections or laboratory testing are listed separately when required.

Goods, packaging & logistics

Product or material costs, labels, packaging, domestic delivery, consolidation and international freight depend on the project. We identify applicable payment charges, currency, shipping terms and excluded destination costs before you approve.

Compare sourcing agent fees on the same basis

A percentage and a fixed service amount are only comparable when they cover the same work. Ask which order costs form the fee basis, whether a minimum service fee applies and how multiple suppliers or repeat orders are handled. A lower headline rate can still exclude sample handling, extra purchasing rounds or inspections.

  • Confirm the currency, calculation basis and included tasks.
  • Separate service fees from goods, materials and freight.
  • Identify extra visits, testing and changed-brief charges.
  • Check payment stages, validity and cancellation terms.

Spulora reviews these details with your product references and quantity plan. The written quote states the applicable fee and any exclusions; a general fee model is not a quotation for your order. Use the project process to identify which stages you want us to manage.

Before any paid work

Your written quote states the scope, deliverables, approval points, applicable service fees and third-party costs, payment stages and quotation validity. It identifies the contracting party and business account payee, with shipping and export arrangements where applicable.

When the brief changes

Additional designs, sample rounds, new suppliers, extra inspections or changed quantities can affect cost and timing. We explain the change and obtain agreement before the additional work. Refunds, cancellation and any sample-fee credit are defined in the applicable quote or agreement.

Do you have a fixed minimum order value?

Smaller first orders are welcome for review. Minimum quantities depend on the product, materials and production process. Any minimum service fee is stated in your quote.

Can I pay only for sourcing or design?

Yes. Sourcing and design can be commissioned separately, and sampling or production can be added later under an agreed scope.

Are quality checks and shipping included?

The quote states which in-house checks and logistics coordination are included. Extra visits, independent inspections, laboratory testing and actual freight or destination charges are separate when applicable.

Why do you quote after reviewing the brief?

Materials, product complexity, number of suppliers, color and size splits, revision rounds and shipping requirements all change the work involved. Reviewing these details lets us give a useful scope and price.
