01

Normalize the item before the price

Put the exact reference, manufacturer, condition and quantity on each proposal. Ask the business to identify substitutions explicitly. An original item, a proposed alternative and a full kit should not share one ambiguous line description.

02

Capture the complete commitment

Ask for taxes or fees where applicable, collection or delivery arrangements, installation, warranty provider and quotation validity. Separate estimated lead time from a confirmed pickup appointment. PoolCore does not set the supplier’s final price.

READY FOR THE CONVERSATION

What to have ready

  • Exact item, condition and package quantity
  • Total cost with inclusions and exclusions
  • Confirmed availability and fulfillment terms

A common question

Can I compare quotes with different part numbers?

First ask why the references differ and whether the alternative is confirmed for your equipment. Compare the explanation along with price.
