STTB Department head above;
When I check Xiqma, I often see following cases;
Manually adjust quotation;
Case1: Quotation is 100pcs but you collect that to 1pc by yourself
Case2: Quotation is 1pc but you collect that to 100pcs by yourself
I wondered if this is Thai’s business culture but as far as I consulted with several people, this kind of quotation should not be accepted. Therefore effective from today, if I see above cases, I will always reject that Xiqma. Please get the NEW quotation from the vendor before you apply.
You may think that mathematically above case is OK. However Case 1) Maybe the price for 1pc is much higher, but you force the vendor to accept the lower price. In order to protect small vendors, this kind of treatment is prohibited by law in some countries. Case 2) Maybe the price for 100pcs is much lower, so someone may get the margin by keeping the higher price. Therefore from the compliance view point, these kinds of way have many risks. Please understand.
