A supplier that answers in 24-48 hours, accepts independent inspection and closes Incoterm, packaging and lead times in writing is worth more than a small discount.

What separates a good deal from a bad one
The professionalisation of the optics sector has shortened decision cycles: digital sheets, answers within hours and PDF documentation are now the norm. Still, verification by inspection remains the best insurance.
