Tips for Faster Quotes
Use Full Part Numbers
Include the complete MPN with all suffixes. "STM32F103C8T6" is better than "STM32F103".
Specify Manufacturer
Many part numbers are used by multiple manufacturers. Specifying helps us find the exact match.
Include Quantities
Pricing varies significantly by volume. Knowing your quantity helps us provide accurate quotes.
Note Any Alternatives
If you can accept substitutes, let us know. This expands our sourcing options.
Mention Urgency
If you have a critical deadline, tell us upfront so we can prioritize and find the fastest sources.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting partial part numbers (missing suffixes)
- Not specifying quantity - we can't quote without knowing volume
- Mixing units (some quantities in pieces, some in reels)
- Including generic descriptions without part numbers
- Forgetting to mention date code requirements
