What is the Amazon Business Custom Quote Tool?

Custom Quote Engine is a new automated online tool launched by Amazon Business Purchasing that facilitates corporate buyers and Amazon sellers to directly conduct online inquiries and quotations for large orders. *Note: The number of items purchased in bulk must be no less than 500, or the promotional value of the items must be no less than US$1,000.

When a corporate buyer wants to purchase large quantities of goods, but the price or quantity on Amazon cannot meet his purchasing needs, the buyer can click the Buying in bulk link on the right side of the product details page to enter the Custom Quotation Tool (CQE) page and submit detailed information including purchase quantity, expected unit price, expected delivery date, and expected response deadline.

FAQ:

Q1: What should I do if my custom quote request exceeds the existing 999 shopping cart limit?

A: You must create new original packaging ASINs one by one. You can provide single original packaging shipments according to the total requested quantity, or you can provide multiple original packaging shipments (totaling to the total requested quantity).

For example:

If a buyer wants to purchase 1500 widgets, you can create a box of 30 units so the buyer can purchase 50 boxes, or create a box of 1500 units.

Q2: Which shipping template should I use for my custom quote?

A: You must create an additional shipping template that includes the free shipping option. Do not enable 2-day shipping options for buyers on a shipping template for custom quote requests.

Q3: How do I update the email address for receiving notifications?

A: You can update your email address via the Change Email Preferences link in the upper right corner of the Requests for items you sell tab. The Change Email Preferences link will take you to the Notifications page where you can edit your email settings for Manage Quotes email notifications.

Q4: Why do I see duplicate buyer requests on the Manage Quotes page?

A: If you have multiple SKUs for the same ASIN, you may see multiple requests from the same buyer.

Q5: Will my existing quantity discounts apply to buyers who send me new requests?

A: Yes. Your existing discount applies to all Amazon business buyers. However, if you want to better meet buyers' requests, you can update your discount through the Manage Quotes page.
