How to read a supplier quote
Read a dropshipping supplier quote for variant, cost, shipping, ship days, and countries they will not ship to.
Five lines the quote must have
Variant name, product cost, shipping cost, ship window in days, and countries they will not ship to. “Fast shipping” is not a line. If a line is missing, ask before you price the page.
AliExpress pages are research. A quote you can fulfill here comes from CJ Dropshipping, Printful, Printify, or a direct supplier on the platform.
Put the quote in the checker
Enter the numbers in the product idea checker. Then ask the same questions of a second supplier. Keep the quote next to the product page so the price and the ship window stay tied to the same variant.
Questions
Does this page include live sales numbers?
No. These pages explain how to judge a product. They do not publish order counts, revenue, or ad results.
What if the quote has no ship window?
Do not advertise it. Ask for days. Publish only the window the supplier confirms.
