I know how frustrating it is to source parts with unclear prices. I have been there, trying to build trust with suppliers yet facing endless emails just to get a simple price list.
To get our standard price list for bulldozer undercarriage parts in Brazil, you just need to send us your business details, target models, and estimated purchase quantities. We will reply with a detailed list that covers unit prices, MOQ tiers, validity period, and delivery terms, tailored for major models like CAT and Komatsu.
Once you know how to request, you will not waste time. You will have the numbers you need before making a purchase decision.
What volume discounts do you offer for large quantity orders?
I once ordered without checking the discount table. I realised later how much I could have saved if I had asked upfront.
We offer tiered discounts based on your total order quantity. The more you buy in one shipment, the bigger the discount percentage. We disclose all tiers in our standard price list so you can plan your stock efficiently.
Why tiered discounts matter for distributors
A clear tiered discount chart 1 2 is essential for planning purchases. Many distributors like you in Brazil juggle between stocking for big projects and keeping cash flow healthy. Without a published discount structure, you risk missing out on margin growth. Transparent tiers help you decide if you should consolidate orders or split them.
Here’s our basic structure:
| Order Quantity (pieces) | Discount Rate (%) | Recommended buyer type |
|---|---|---|
| 50 - 100 | 2 | Small local distributor |
| 101 - 300 | 5 | Regional distributor |
| 301 - 500 | 8 | National distributor |
| 500+ | 10 | Large scale OEM partner |
In practice, most steady buyers aim for the second or third tier. This way they can justify larger shipments without overstocking.
Key tip: If your seasonal demand spikes, you can use combined orders strategy 9 10 to hit higher tiers even if for multiple part numbers. This tactic secures lower unit costs and stronger resale margins.
How long is a price quotation valid, especially with fluctuating steel costs?
I once tried to confirm an order after three months, and the steel price had changed; the old quote was no longer valid.
Our price quotations are usually valid for 30 days. In periods of sharp steel cost changes, we update prices monthly. We will inform you as soon as a new list replaces the old one.
Factors that affect price validity
Steel price fluctuations 15 16, freight rates, and currency swing influence undercarriage part costs. Our policy is to keep quotes realistic so we protect both sides from surprises.
| Factor | Typical Change Frequency | Impact on Price List |
|---|---|---|
| Steel cost | Weekly to monthly | Direct increase or decrease |
| Freight rate | Monthly | CIF quotes can shift |
| FX rates | Daily | Affect USD to BRL conversions |
You should check in with our sales contact before the expiry date if you plan to place an order close to the end of quotation validity. This way you lock in your supply without paying above budget.
It is best we set you on a price notification list 17 18, so every new price list reaches you instantly.
Are your prices quoted FOB Xiamen or CIF Santos?
I missed checking shipping terms in a past order and ended up paying far more on transport than I expected.
Our standard price list shows prices on FOB Xiamen basis 19 20. CIF Santos quotes are available on request, and they include sea freight and insurance 21 22 up to the port of Santos in Brazil.
Why FOB vs CIF matters
The shipping terms comparison 1 2 changes how you plan logistics. FOB means you control shipping choice from Xiamen, CIF means freight is set by us inclusive to Santos.
| Term | Who arranges shipping | Who pays insurance | Common use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOB | Buyer | Buyer | Experienced importers |
| CIF | Seller | Experienced buyers may choose FOB to negotiate better freight rates with their own partners. The right choice depends on your shipping network 16 17 and trust level with carriers. |
Does the price list include parts for all major models (CAT, Komatsu, etc.)?
I once got a catalogue that didn’t cover the core models my customers wanted, and I had to start searching again.
Yes. The standard price list covers all major bulldozer and excavator models, including Caterpillar 18 19, Komatsu 20 21, Hitachi, and others. It lists undercarriage parts like track links, carrier rollers, idlers, sprockets, and track shoes.
How we organise the model coverage
We group prices by part category and machine brand for fast lookup. See below:
| Brand | Part Type | Example Model |
|---|---|---|
| [ CAT | Carrier Roller | D6N |
| Komatsu | Track Link Assy | D85 |
| Hitachi | Idler | ZX200 |
| CAT | Sprocket Segment | D8T |
This structure means you can open the file, find your brand, and check exactly which models are listed. It saves time versus scrolling through random product codes. All technical specs, MOQ, and discount tiers are linked to each item line so you can make decisions faster.
Conclusion
Clear, updated price lists with shipping and discount details give Brazil distributors full control over costs and planning.
