A quote without an expiry date can create a dispute when transport, materials, exchange rates, or supplier prices change. State the quoted items, quantities, labour, delivery, taxes where applicable, total, payment terms, and date until which the offer remains valid. Explain what must change if the customer accepts later.
Use different validity periods for standard products and custom work. A quote for a stocked item may remain valid for several days, while a construction, design, or event quote may depend on availability and scheduling. Do not change a price silently after acceptance. Contact the customer and explain the reason before starting the work.
KobStore helps a Kenyan seller present the underlying products or services clearly before a quote is requested. Better information can make the quote more accurate because the customer already understands the offer. Clear validity terms protect the relationship and the margin.
