Measurement basis
Have the supplier describe how weight and dimensions are measured. Record stringing condition and grip wrap. Two values with different methods cannot establish a like-for-like result.
Specification review / CRE-SO-06
Badminton racket wholesale: review what each quote includes
Use a controlled ledger to separate requested specifications, supplier statements and buyer approvals. A comparison is useful only when the same racket, quantity unit and delivery scope sit behind each price.

Decision to resolve
Is the sample weight measured with strings and the final grip?
A comparison ledger with open fields
Copy the following fields into your buying brief. They are review prompts, not published specifications or a current quotation. Keep a supplier-stated value distinct from a buyer-approved value, and request clarification when the basis changes.
| Quote line | Record for each supplier | Approval question |
|---|---|---|
| Unit basis | Pieces or complete sets; strung or unstrung; frame and shaft material | Does every price cover the same construction and finished item? |
| Dimensions and weight | Overall length in cm, finished weight in g, grip circumference, stated string tension in lb | Which accessories are included in measurement, and what tolerance is proposed? |
| Packaging | Cover, sleeve and label; units per carton; carton dimensions and gross weight | Do pack ratio and retail presentation match the order brief? |
| Sample | Sample charge, artwork setup, courier scope and sample revision | Is the proposed sample the production configuration? |
| Lead time | Material, artwork and approval dependencies; production estimate | Which event starts the supplier's stated schedule? |
| Trade terms | Currency, price validity, freight scope, destination and stated exclusions | Are freight, duties, testing and service charges included or still open? |
Choose a budget basis before evaluating alternatives. A high-end preference can prioritize finish consistency or customization support; a budget preference may favor simpler artwork and protective bulk packs. Neither preference changes required acceptance checks. Compare complete-order cost rather than a low unit price with missing packaging.
Three checks before the word “approved”
Document match
Ask for the model, manufacturer and report revision behind an exact-item test evidence claim. A product-family standard is not exact-model certification; requirement applicability needs review for the actual intended US use.
Sample identity
Photograph or label the reference sample, approve artwork placement and define who signs off. A related frame sample may support material discussion but leaves production construction and packaging unresolved.
The sourcing service coordinates questions and document requests; it does not perform certification. Unknown specifications remain pending, proposed tolerance needs agreement, and a sample is not a guarantee of batch-wide performance.
Turn unresolved values into supplier questions
Include quantities, US destination, timing and the fields that need confirmation. Our independent sourcing role keeps the comparison and approval responsibilities visible.
