- Side-by-side comparison
- No purchase commitment
A Request for Quotation means announcing your need as a written request so relevant suppliers can bid. Instead of you hunting for a supplier, suppliers compete to win you.
On Servat Land, your request is sent only to verified suppliers in that field; the replies come together so you can compare price, lead time and terms in one place — and posting costs nothing.

The path of an RFQ
Six steps, from writing your need to starting the deal — with full transparency at every stage.
01Post your need
In the RFQ form you write the product, technical specs, quantity, destination country and deadline, then submit.
02Sent to relevant suppliers
The request goes only to verified suppliers in the same category — not everywhere, not to everyone.
03Quotes arrive
Each supplier sends their price, lead time and terms; usually the first replies arrive within 24 hours.
04Compare & choose
All quotes are shown side by side; you see price, lead time and supplier credibility at once and pick the best.
05Negotiate & finalize
Chat directly with the chosen supplier, clarify details and agree on the final terms.
06Escrow payment & deal start
The payment goes into escrow, the goods are prepared and shipped, and the funds are released to the seller once delivery is confirmed.

How to write an effective RFQ
The more precise the request, the more precise and comparable the quotes — these six points make the difference.
Precise title
Name the product in that industry's standard terms so only relevant suppliers see the request.
Technical specs
Write size, alloy, capacity, standard and every key spec — the quotes become comparable.
Quantity & tonnage
State the purchase quantity clearly — bulk pricing differs a lot from sample pricing.
Destination country
Specify the shipping destination so suppliers can calculate freight cost and terms accurately.
Response deadline
Set a realistic deadline — suppliers answer on time and you keep your own schedule.
Request language
The request is published in several languages so both domestic and foreign suppliers can bid.

Frequently asked questions
What is an RFQ and how is it different from an order?
An RFQ is a request for offers, not a purchase commitment. You announce your need, compare the quotes, and only when you decide does the deal begin.
Does posting an RFQ cost anything?
No — posting a request and receiving quotes is completely free for buyers. You pay nothing unless you decide to buy.
Who responds to my request?
Only verified suppliers active in the same product category. That means replies come from real businesses with valid documents, not from anonymous accounts.
How many quotes will I receive?
It depends on how many suppliers are active in that field; for in-demand products you usually receive several. The more precise your request, the more relevant the quotes.
What if I'm not satisfied with the quotes?
You have no commitment — revise and repost the request, add more details, or continue through other channels like direct search or chatting with suppliers.
How do I pick the best supplier?
Don't compare price alone — also look at lead time, payment terms, the supplier's track record and rating, and how responsive they are. All of this is shown next to every quote.
