A useful squishy quotation can be reconciled line by line with your request. Evaluate the clarity of the product identity, selling unit, price, minimum and packing response before comparing headline prices. A complete answer is evidence of a complete quote, not proof of product quality or future service.
Use a buyer-defined scorecard with the same requirements for every response. Mark missing answers as open rather than assuming the most favorable interpretation.
Quote evidence scorecard
| Identity | Does the reply repeat the exact SKU, version and requested specification? |
|---|---|
| Price and basis | Are currency, selling unit, quantity tier, EXW or other agreed basis and validity stated? |
| Order quantity | Are carton count, units per carton and total units consistent? |
| Mixing and substitutions | Does the reply explicitly accept or decline each requested mix and substitution? |
| Packing | Are retail pack, inner display and master carton distinguished? |
| Documents | Is the requested product and destination documentation identified, with missing items listed? |
Normalize before comparing
Compare prices only after the product configuration, selling unit, quantity and trade basis match. A calendar and a loose squishy are not interchangeable price units. A price excluding freight cannot be compared directly with an all-in estimate without identifying the included charges.
Use STS348379 as a consistency check: the current catalog records 264 pieces per carton and $0.27–$0.28 per piece EXW. An offer using a different count or basis may still be valid, but it needs a revised description and arithmetic before it can be compared.
Ask for evidence proportional to the decision
Request the exact sample, packing photograph or document needed to resolve the remaining question. A generic factory image, an AI illustration or a claim about another model does not answer a SKU-specific request.
If you use weights or numeric scores, define them as your purchasing method. This article supplies no supplier rankings, historical delivery records or customer outcomes. Keep unresolved points in the approval sheet and ask who will confirm later order changes.
Catalog source and next step
Product figures use the Squishy Toys Wholesale catalog snapshot supplied with this guide. Prices are indicative EXW and require current confirmation. Availability, shipment dates and cross-SKU mixing have not been confirmed.
