Request for quotation (RFQ)

A Request for Quotation (RFQ) lets you state exactly what you need: product type, specifications, quantities, and delivery timelines. Lalaaji puts that request in front of qualified sellers, who bid on it. You compare offers instead of chasing them.

Our team reviews each RFQ to confirm authenticity, assess buyer tier, and ensure it meets platform standards before moving forward.

3RFQ assigned to sellers

Verified RFQs are shared only with sellers operating in the requested market segment, ensuring quality and relevance.

4Sellers submit bids

Sellers respond with pricing, terms, and delivery options. Competing bids keep prices honest.

5Buyer chooses the best bid
